Overview
Together with Samurai Guide Sho, a former JR Chuo Line conductor who worked on trains for 22 years, you will ride the JR Chuo Line Green Car (premium seating) from Shinjuku and head out for a bar night along the line.
This is not just bar hopping. It is an experience of blending into the night along the Chuo Line together with a former Chuo Line conductor.
Visit carefully selected spots, including a yokocho alley, craft beer, and sushi.
Drinks are not a fixed set. At each stop, you can choose what to drink at your own pace while pairing it with the food served there.
Ideal for travelers who:
- Want to visit local bars along the JR Chuo Line with very few tourists, recommended by a former JR Chuo Line conductor
- Want to avoid crowded train cars and travel comfortably seated in a Green Car
- Want to get away from crowded central sightseeing areas
- Prefer to enjoy food, drinks, and conversation with only their own group, rather than joining a loud bar crawl with a large group

Return details
After the tour, I can guide you to the train platform for your return journey if needed. I will support you depending on your destination, such as Shinjuku, Shibuya, or other areas.

Shinjuku Southern TerraceThe tour begins at JR Shinjuku Station. Samurai Guide Sho, a former JR Chuo Line conductor who worked on trains for about 22 years until March 31, 2026, will guide you smoothly through the complex station and assist with purchasing Green Car tickets. The journey begins before you even arrive at the first bar. You will board the JR Chuo Line Green Car (premium seating) and travel west toward Kichijoji. The evening train ride itself is an important part of the experience. As the scenery gradually changes outside the window, the journey builds anticipation for the Chuo Line night ahead.

Hamonika Yokocho Kichijoji1st Stop: Harmonica Yokocho The evening begins in nostalgic Harmonica Yokocho, the gateway into Kichijoji’s night. At one of the most distinctive spots in the alley, you begin the evening with local food and drinks while easing into the atmosphere of Kichijoji. With reserved seating, you can enjoy the yokocho atmosphere at a comfortable pace.
-
Kichijoji2nd Stop: Craft Beer Rather than ending in Harmonica Yokocho, the tour continues on foot through the neighborhood to a craft beer spot outside the alley. Leaving Harmonica Yokocho and walking through Kichijoji at night is itself an important part of the experience. Here, you enjoy distinctive Japanese craft beer with food while experiencing Kichijoji’s night not as a single place, but across the neighborhood. One of the charms of this tour is discovering a different side of Kichijoji beyond the yokocho itself.
-
Hamonika Yokocho Kichijoji3rd Stop: Sushi The evening ends with sushi prepared by a skilled sushi chef. Paired with a drink that suits the moment, this final stop lets you close the night at a calm and relaxed pace. Rather than ending as a simple bar crawl, the tour finishes with a quiet and satisfying final stop.
-
End of the Tour After experiencing Kichijoji’s night beyond Harmonica Yokocho and across the neighborhood, the tour ends at Kichijoji Station. Rather than simply feeling like you visited a sightseeing spot, you leave with the sense of having stepped into the city’s local night.
