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?
