How about traveling to off-the-beaten-path locations in Tokyo with a local standup comedian?
Plus, Enjoy his comedy quiz show about Japan's sex industry!

Meshida grew up in Tokyo, and now He is introducing foreigners to Japan's historical, religious, cultural, and gender dynamics through YouTube and stand-up comedy shows!

He is excited to offer you an unforgettable, unique experience through his comedy quiz show and original tours in a red light district, "Yoshiwara".

It’s famously said that Japanese people have two sides: Tatemae (our public face) and Honne (our genuine emotions). We usually hide our honne (honest side) in public.

And this is the same as Tokyo. Tokyo also has two sides.
Unfortunately, tourists usually visit only famous tourist spots.
But If you want to know the real Tokyo, you have to see the hidden districts of Tokyo.
Usually, they are located near famous tourist spots, like the other side of a coin.

Meshida's comedy quiz show and walking tour is one part humor, one part history, one part kink and 100% a good time! If you're interested in the less traditional side of Japanese culture and want to know more about it from a guy who knows his stuff (and makes you feel at ease), Meshida is the hentai sensei for you. I probably wouldn't have come looking for a tour about Tokyo's red light district, but I had seen Meshida's comedy act last year at the Edinburgh Fringe and thought it would be hard to go wrong with a tour curated by him. I'm happy to say I learned a lot, laughed a lot and didn't feel like I'd done something dirty by the end of the tour. Highly recommended!

This comedy quiz show and walking tour is definitely one of a kind and not something that every other tourist visiting Tokyo does. Naturally as R18 topic is in center, this is not for everyone (absolutely not for close-minded or prude). Meshida-san educated us in a very funny and amusing way about the adult nightlife culture of Japan. Even if one is already somewhat familiar of these things in the age of Internet and online videos, a lot of new, interesting information was given and some things can only be experienced first-hand.

History, trivia, sightseeing, and comedy all rolled onto one! Meshida-san, the ever gracious host, playfully enlightens as he teaches the history of not only Yoshiwara but of an entire nation. An experience worthwhile for all who want to know Japan better and get a laugh in while they're at it.
