When we are gathered, let's get to know each other. Then, prepare to immerse yourself in Shinjuku's drinking street, known as Memory Lane. We'll start at Memory Lane and explore the nostalgic Showa-era taverns. You'll enjoy the atmospheric contrast compared to the bustling business district of Kabukicho in Shinjuku. In Memory Lane, you'll also get a glimpse of Shinjuku's history. Let's walk down this street, allowing your imagination to wander towards the background of how this lane came into existence and the daily lives of the people back then! Since it's not always easy to come across retro scenes, We recommend capturing them in photographs! We will stop by one of the pubs and enjoy some Japanese street food, such as skewered meat (Yakitori), beer stew, or seafood.
