Description
Forget the guidebooks and the tourist traps. This isn't just a tour; it's your all-access pass to the real heart of Tokyo's nightlife. Join a local party guide and dive into the electric, neon-soaked streets of Shinjuku, where the city truly comes alive after dark.
You'll hit the kind of spots locals love—the hidden gems and tiny, atmospheric bars that most visitors walk right past. This is your chance to drink, eat, and party the Japanese way.
Experience Tokyo's quirky local nightlife and go bar hopping in Shinjuku with a local party guide. From Kabukicho's cozy izakaya pubs to the crammed bars of Golden Gai, discover the Japanese way of drinking at local hotspots. Enjoy 3 drinks and 6-8 foods along the way.
First, hit a small yet bustling historic alleyway called Omoide Yokocho (Memory Lane), a nostalgic haven packed with tiny eateries that exude a retro charm. Munch on some Yakitori (chicken skewers) and have a drink.
Then, head over to the entertainment district of Kabukicho and find yourself surrounded by bright neon signs. See a series of small clubs, smoky pubs, karaoke parlors, and late-night snack bars crammed into lantern-lit alleys.
Immerse yourself in Shinjuku’s nightlife scene. Drink like a Japanese at a local izakaya, a type of casual Japanese bar that is a go-to place for after-work drinking. Try some more food along with all you can drink to wash it down.
Finally, make your way to Golden Gai, an area filled with over 300 tiny bars of varied themes, the ideal destination for bar hopping. Have one last drink alongside the locals before bidding farewell to your guide.
This is your chance to be part of an authentic Tokyo moment, surrounded by the city's unique charm before you say goodbye to your guide.
Ready to see a side of Tokyo you've never imagined? This is more than just bar hopping—it's an unforgettable adventure.
