Overview

Experience Tokyo after dark through the deep, underground vibe of Shinjuku’s backstreets—filled with hidden bars, smoky grills, and classic izakaya culture.
With a local guide, you’ll explore the corners of the city where real nightlife happens, far from the usual tourist routes.

In 3 hours, visit three iconic stops:
• A full-course izakaya dinner (10+ dishes) in nostalgic Omoide Yokocho
• An all-you-can-drink (free-flow drinks) karaoke bar, where you can sing, mingle, and feel the energy of local nightlife
• A nightcap in Golden Gai, a legendary maze of tiny bars known for its intimate and underground atmosphere

All seat and cover charges are included, so you can simply relax and enjoy a smooth bar hopping experience in Shinjuku.
This small-group tour (max 8 guests) is ideal for travelers seeking authentic Shinjuku nightlife, a true izakaya experience, and a deeper look into the area’s hidden, after-dark culture that most visitors never see.
