Description

Embark on an exciting bar-hopping adventure through Tokyo's lively Shinjuku district with a knowledgeable local guide. Uncover secret spots that only natives know and dive deep into Japanese drinking traditions. We'll take you through iconic areas like Omoide Yokocho, Kabukicho, and Golden Gai, introducing you to authentic izakayas and bars off the typical tourist path. Your journey begins in Omoide Yokocho, a charming area decorated with red lanterns and bustling with after-work crowds. These tiny establishments are typically packed with office workers enjoying evening drinks. While getting a table can be challenging, we'll handle the reservations, ensuring you can savor delicious local food and beverages without stress. Next, we'll explore Kabukicho, Japan's most famous entertainment neighborhood, known for its dazzling neon lights and fascinating atmosphere. You'll encounter unique shops and intriguing characters that will make a memorable impression. The final stop is Golden Gai, where your guides' insider connections grant access to exclusive bars that usually don't welcome new customers. Enjoy local beers, spirits, and traditional Japanese sake while experiencing Tokyo's vibrant nightlife scene. While we aim to visit these specific locations, occasional circumstances might alter our route. If you have any concerns about the day's itinerary, we encourage you to ask in advance for detailed information.
