Kawasaki
Kawasaki, JapanWe will go to the slums of Kawasaki. An area that you would not believe is Japan. Very old history of Korean ancestors were discriminated and forced to live in this slum area. The community still exists and many people still live here. The tour guide is very familiar with the city so there is no danger of getting lost or getting in trouble. Very safe but hard to believe slum scene to be seen even in the most beautiful city of Tokyo.2 hours • Admission Ticket FreeView Location2
Then we will go walk around the red light district of Kawasaki. Surprisingly most stores are open 24hrs of the day, and neon signs are lit from the morning. We will just walk around to see the interesting signs and stores serving all sorts of service.1 hour • Admission Ticket FreeView Location

We will go to Shinjuku Kabukicho but not the regular tour course. We will go behind glamorous city view and walk around the ghetto and slum and red light districts. The tour guide is very familiar with the city so there is no worry of danger. It is Japan so everything is pretty much safe but you will see the dark sides of Tokyo never shown a lot in the media.2 hours • Admission Ticket FreeView Location
