Itinerary
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.
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.

Excellent tour with great food selections and drinks were a great accompaniment. Highly recommend this if you want to explore local food in the Shinjuku area.
We had a lovely time. Mak was informative and the food was great You won’t leave hungry that’s for sure!!
We met on one side of Shinjuku and walked over from side to the other side. Be ready to walk. Lloyd, who was our guide, did a good job giving this tour. At each stop gave a little history and briefing and we all got to try a variety of food from Shinjuku. We tried food from a Izakaya, pork cutlets from a historical restaurant , food from Okinawa cuisine and dessert. Overall four good choices.
Food was good, but the experience and information about Shinjuku was better! Our guide, May, was great.
Well worth it, gives you a real feel for the city. Places you would not think to visit and authentic Japanese food. Michael was a great guide, made the evening enjoyable and interesting
I joined bar hopping tour in Tokyo and had an amazing time! Our guide, Benjamin took us to hidden gems where locals actually spend their Friday nights, which made the experience feel very authentic. Along the way, he suggested a great variety of local food and drinks, so I got to try things I wouldn’t have found on my own. Benjamin also shared interesting historical facts about Japan as well as insights into modern life, which gave the night even more depth. The balance of culture, food, and fun was perfect. I really enjoyed the entire experience and would highly recommend this tour with Benjamin as your guide!
