Step back in time in a classic Showa Era yokocho – a narrow alleyway that, while once known by a less savory name, has transformed into a vibrant landmark. Today, it's a must-see, brimming with a charming selection of food stalls offering simple, delicious fare and alcoholic drinks that evoke the nostalgic atmosphere of old Tokyo
Enter through the iconic Kabukicho Main Gate, walk by the Godzilla Head looming above. Immerse the electric energy of the Entertainment District. Experience its vibrant buzz, catch intriguing glimpses of love hotels, hostess and host clubs. This area never sleeps and truly pulsates with all kinds of entertainment!
Discover Kabukicho Hall – a contemporary take on the classic yokocho alleyway, where a vibrant collection of izakaya offer tempting food and drinks.
Nestled between contemporary buildings, step back in time as we explore a more secluded Showa Era yokocho – an atmospheric alleyway filled with traditional izakayas.
After a stroll through the charming Shinki No Michi (The Four Seasons Path), we'll step into the legendary Golden Gai Yokocho district. A festive and incredibly vibrant yokocho experience! This popular spot is a captivating maze of six narrow alleyways linked by even tinier passageways – sometimes just wide enough for one person. Prepare to be amazed as we navigate this unique area, where around 200 minuscule, shanty-style bars and eateries are packed together, creating a buzzing atmosphere
Step onto the grounds of the historic Hanazono Shrine, with roots stretching back to the mid-17th century. This cherished Inari shrine – dedicated to Inari, the fascinating androgynous deity of fertility and worldly success – holds a special place for businessmen who come here to pray for prosperous ventures. Stop for as long needed to take pics if needed.

Thank you for the tour. I highly recommend Odin if you want to explore the nightlife of Shinjuku in Tokyo.
I booked a night tour in Tokyo and it was an amazing experience. Even traveling solo as a Mexican woman, I felt very safe and well taken care of the whole time. Odysseus took me to beautiful places that are truly worth seeing at night—the city has a very special energy after dark. He also took me to try delicious drinks and food that I probably wouldn’t have discovered on my own. It was a very complete, authentic, and fun experience. I highly recommend it
Good time for the tour. My tour guide Odis was very nice guy, very frendly and having good knowledge about the tour places & histories. Really got enjoyed for the night around 2hrs walking tour. Thanks!
We saw parts of the city we NEVER would have seen without our guide. He was so friendly and helpful and took us to fascinating hidden corners. We absolutely loved it.
