Let’s Consider This in Kagurazaka, Shinjuku Ward.     Don’t Leave Without Experiencing Kagurazaka’s Greatest Charm During the “Kagurazaka Matsuri (Festival) 2024,” the main street, Kagurazaka Dori, was so crowded with visitors that it was difficult to walk.

As a local resident who has lived in Kagurazaka for 25 years, I found this very disappointing.

However, tourists often view guides as a cost and are reluctant to use them. But what if you changed your perspective and considered hiring a guide not as a cost but as an investment to broaden your knowledge?
