What to expect

  1. Omoide Yokocho
    10m
    Omoide Yokocho (思い出横丁), also known as "Memory Lane," is a famous narrow alleyway in Shinjuku filled with tiny, old-fashioned bars and eateries. It’s one of the best places to experience Tokyo’s nostalgic post-war atmosphere.
    We'll take a commemorative photo here with a DSLR camera. (The photos will be sent to your phone at the end of the tour.)

    Located just outside Shinjuku Station’s west exit, this area is packed with yakitori (grilled chicken skewers) stalls, ramen shops, and small izakayas (Japanese pubs).
  2. Kabukicho
    2h
    Kabukicho is Japan’s largest entertainment district, located in Shinjuku. Known as the "Sleepless Town," it’s filled with neon lights, bars, restaurants, karaoke spots, and unique themed establishments. It’s a must-visit place to experience Tokyo’s vibrant nightlife.

    Here, we'll take a commemorative photo with a DSLR camera. (The photos will be sent to your phone at the end of the tour.)

    We’ll visit an izakaya that serves the most delicious sashimi and Japanese cuisine.
    Then, we’ll stop by another izakaya
  3. Shinjuku Golden Gai
    1h
    Golden Gai is a famous drinking district in Shinjuku, known for its tiny, retro-style bars packed into narrow alleyways. This area has a unique charm, preserving the old Showa-era atmosphere, making it feel like stepping back in time.

    With over 200 small bars and izakayas, each with its own unique theme and history, Golden Gai is a great place to experience Tokyo’s underground drinking culture. Some bars are friendly to tourists, while others are known for their regular customers and intimate settings.

    Here, we'll take memorable photos with a DSLR camera. (The photos will be sent to your phone at the end of the tour.)
  4. Hanazono Shrine Festival

    At the end of the tour, we will visit a shrine next to Golden Gai and pray for an amazing trip in Japan.
