1. Omoide Yokocho
We'll kick off our tour by stepping back in time into Omoide Yokocho (aka "Memory Lane"), an alley that feels straight out of the Showa era.

Wander beneath glowing red lanterns and past tiny yakitori stalls as your local guide shares the stories behind this nostalgic corner of Tokyo.
Duration: 5 mins
2. Kabukicho
Step into a local izakaya in the heart of Kabukicho for dinner and drinks. Share Japanese dishes around the table, learn how locals eat and drink, and get to know your guide and fellow travelers in a relaxed atmosphere before heading deeper into Shinjuku’s nightlife.
Duration: 120 mins
3. Shinjuku Golden Gai
Wander through the maze-like alleys of Golden Gai, home to hundreds of tiny bars packed into just a few narrow streets. Your guide will show you around this legendary nightlife district and share the stories and culture behind one of Tokyo’s most unique drinking areas.

Leave the tourist trail behind and step inside one of our favorite hidden gems in Kabukicho.
