Tips (optional)
Omoide Yokocho
Step into the nostalgic streets of Omoide Yokocho, also known as Memory Lane, a hidden gem in Shinjuku where time seems to stand still. This narrow alleyway is lined with tiny, lantern-lit izakayas, each offering a cozy and authentic glimpse into Tokyo’s post-war drinking culture.
Kabukicho
Experience Tokyo’s most iconic nightlife district as we explore the hidden, historic bars of Golden Gai in Shinjuku. This legendary area is home to tiny, atmospheric bars, each with its own unique charm and character. Unlike larger nightlife spots, Golden Gai offers an intimate, old-school Tokyo vibe, where locals and travelers mingle over drinks in cozy, dimly lit spaces.

This was definitely a great night. We had a great group of participants. The guide was friendly and knowledgeable. The first 2 stops had light snacks and drinks and no admission price. Be sure you have an adequate amount of yen. At each stop the bill will be divided equally by the number of attendees. The last stop in Golden Gai was really unique. A really great experience.. I rated this 4 stars since the description notes admission was included at Golden Gai, but it appeared that we were charged a cover charge.
