Overview

Discover Shinjuku after dark as we guide you through its vibrant izakaya scene. Over the course of one evening, you’ll visit three distinct venues - from a retro wooden tavern that feels like a step back in time, to a cozy spot known for seasonal comfort dishes, and finally a lively skewer-focused bar tucked inside the famous Omoide Yokocho alley.

Led by a local food guide, you’ll enjoy a mix of flavors, drinks, and atmospheres that reveal the heart of Tokyo’s nightlife. Along the way, you’ll gain insight into izakaya traditions, dining etiquette, and why these pubs are such a beloved part of Japan’s food culture.

Whether a first-time or repeat visitor, this is how to experience Shinjuku like a local.

Dishes you might try:

• Fresh sashimi, shiitake mushrooms, shrimp, and satsuma-age fish cakes at a nostalgic izakaya
• Tamagoyaki, vegetable tempura, oden, and occasional wagyu beef
• Charcoal-grilled yakitori and pork skewers with side dishes in a modern Omoide Yokocho izakaya

What's included

Three drinks included (alcoholic or non-alcoholic)
Generous servings of small plates and shared dishes - more than enough for dinner
