Izakaya Food Tour in Shinjuku

We will explore the greater part of Shinjuku, the busiest area in Tokyo to show you popular spots as well as hidden gems. We'll have a couple of bites during the city walk. We'll then head to two izakaya restaurants that are popular among the locals. Places we visit range from modern to traditional, and if you are looking to try just ramen and sushi, this might not be the right one for you. Throughout the evening, we’ll taste different Japanese foods and drinks, learn about our pub food culture and history, and spend time with other foodies. Also, we offer an optional sake tasting session where we will try 5+ different craft & seasonal sake at our own sake bar in Shinjuku before the tour at 3:30pm (optional & price not included). *We may have extra spots available even if you don't see availability.

Authentic Shinjuku Food & Drink Crawl with Yoshi

Have you ever wanted to truly immerse yourself in the local scene, eating and drinking as if you were a local in “Omoide Yokocho (Memory Lane aka Piss Alley” or “Golden Gai(nostalgic bar district)”? This is actually possible only with this tour from Japan Local Experience!　 Shinjuku ward is home to approximately 5,000 dining venues. Yoshi, who has meticulously explored every izakaya (tavern) and bar in the area, will guide you to only the most carefully curated spots. This tour is made possible by Yoshi’s strong trust and connections with the owners of these izakayas and bars. Both Omoide Yokocho and Golden Gai are incredibly charming places, and just walking through them is a missed opportunity in my opinion. You’ll also explore Kabukicho, Asia’s premier nightlife district. Immerse yourself in its uniquely vibrant and chaotic atmosphere. Since you’ve come all this way, I want you to experience it fully. Over 8000 guests have participated in this tour, which has received high praise for six years as a “once-in-a-lifetime experience!. Why not spend an unforgettable evening in Shinjuku, becoming a local with Yoshi and enjoying a fun time?
