Drinks in Golden Gai: Recommended tours & tickets

  • Tokyo

Let’s enjoy the night life in the biggest business and drinking town Shinjuku! You will see modern Shinjuku with many high buildings and neon signs and also, tiny local bars and narrow streets which make you feel like time traveling to Tokyo in the 1950s, without getting “Lost in translation”. After meeting, we will take you to “Memory lane”, narrow streets full of small Yakitori(skewers) shops and restaurants and enjoy beer and Yakitori as our first spot. Then, we will move to the east part of Shinjuku as most of the businessmen there do after 5PM for the night life. We will explore around Kabukicho-area, one of the safest red-light district in the world with Robot restaurants and Godzilla head and enjoy the 2nd Izakaya. Then, move to our highlight “Golden-gai” where more than 200 tiny bars crammed into the miniature backstreets, enjoy the unique atmosphere and have the last drink there. *This is a group tour and all type of group is welcomed including solo-traveler.

  • Tokyo

We love this charming nightlife tour! You will get a chance to enjoy many kinds of sushi and yakitori (skewers) as well as classic RAMEN! (on everyone’s MUST-TRY LIST) Throughout your adventure, you will have the chance to try 10 different Japanese foods. Start your tour by walking through the busy streets of Shinjuku heading straight for Omoide Yokocho (literally “Memory Lane”) as our first stop. Omoide Yokocho is rightfully named as it is littered with rustic food stalls and bars from the 1950s. You’ll feel as if you’ve stepped back in time to the middle of the 20th century. Many of these spots still stay true to their roots, serving roasted giblets with beef and pork, which was a staple when food was scarce after World War II. We will have a drink together and some skewers in one of the most charming parts of Tokyo; it will give you a very authentic feeling of Japan as you dine mostly with locals. (Please NOTE this tour is for Adults over 20 years of Age)
