Description

Please find out this tour on IG #travel.japan_together Join us for a bar hopping tour in the unique and vibrant Shinjuku area! Our team will ensure you have the best night possible! During the bar hopping tour, we'll visit Omoide Yokocho, Kabukicho, and Golden Gai, taking you to hidden izakayas and bars that only locals know. The tour starts in the red lantern-adorned local izakaya area of Omoide Yokocho or the bustling district of Kabukicho. Next, we'll head to Kabukicho, Japan's largest neon-lit entertainment district. Afterward, we'll visit the Golden Gai area. As we have connections to bars that don't accept general customers, our tour will grant you access to these hidden gems. We generally go to the places mentioned above, but there may be times when we can't go to bars or izakayas due to circumstances. If you're worried about it, feel free to ask in advance, and we'll provide the locations for the day.

Amazing first time tour of local Japanese food/drink spots

Kento was an amazing tour guide! He explained many dishes to us, gave us his honest recommendations, and kept a very lively and inviting atmosphere! Me and my friend had a wonderful time, and would love to go again next time we are in Japan!

Shibuya bike adventure with Taichi

Taichi took me on a very dynamic tour of both Shibuya and some of the bohemian districts in central Tokyo most visitors miss. He also took the time to teach me about some compelling historical elements of the area and Japanese traditions at a local shrine. I highly recommend booking with Taichi as he can adapt the tour to your unique interests and travel preferences. We also got a great workout. 10/10 would book again!! Thx again Taichi!
