5.00Our group had a wonderful experience doing this tour to the Tokyo Friday night races. We had so much fun. Our guides were amazing. Eito was fun and helped us navigate the trains to get there. Beers and betting and seeing this world class venue and how it's done the Japanese way was a highlight. Very well worth it if you love horse-racing
