The night begins in the nostalgic, lantern-lit alleys of Omoide Yokocho. At a hand-picked izakaya, we'll enjoy the first round of included local food and drinks. Next, we jump into the futuristic world of Kabukicho. After seeing the massive Kabukicho Tower, we’ll visit our second hidden gem for fresh seafood and premium sake, also included.

The tour concludes with a walk through the legendary Golden Gai, a dense labyrinth of over 200 tiny bars. We end our guided experience here, leaving you in the perfect spot to continue the night on your own, armed with insider tips from your guide.

Throughout the evening, your guide handles all navigation and language barriers, unlocking a side of Tokyo you'd never find alone. Just show up and get ready for an unforgettable night.

What To Expect

Omoide Yokocho

We'll kick off our tour by stepping back in time into Omoide Yokocho (aka "Memory Lane"), an alley that feels straight out of the Showa era. We'll head into a nostalgic world, lit by red lanterns and filled with the delicious smoke of yakitori. From the countless options, we will guide you to a lively and celebrated izakaya that we personally recommend. Here, we'll raise our first glass, savoring exquisite local food and kicking off our Shinjuku night to the fullest.

Kabukicho

We'll plunge into the dazzling, sleepless world of Kabukicho. Our first sight will be the Tokyu Kabukicho Tower, a futuristic beacon of blue light that symbolizes the area's wild energy. After taking in the cyberpunk scenery, we'll slip through the chaos to our second stop: a fantastic izakaya celebrated for its incredibly fresh seafood and perfectly paired Japanese sake.
