Overview

Together with Samurai Guide Sho, a former JR Chuo Line conductor who spent 22 years working on the line, you will ride the JR Chuo Line Green Car (premium seating) from Shinjuku and set out on a training journey visiting distinctive craft beer taprooms across West Tokyo.

This journey is not about learning beer knowledge.

This tour is independently operated and is not affiliated with JR East.

Enjoy freshly tapped craft beer brewed in West Tokyo in the atmosphere of the neighborhoods where it is served, while also viewing the streets through the windows of the Green Car.

The Green Car becomes a moving viewpoint where you can feel the life of the city.
Guided by a former conductor, you experience everyday Tokyo from a uniquely close perspective.
