Description

Let’s explore Tokyo's nightlife with an unforgettable journey through Shinjuku and the iconic Golden Gai. Wander down neon-drenched alleys, inhale the smoky aroma of sizzling skewers, and let the lively chatter and laughter fill your ears. Step into cozy, dimly-lit bars with retro decor from the 1950s, where each sip of sake warms you from within.
