About This Tour

This tour combines three of Shinjuku’s most fascinating nightlife areas—Omoide Yokocho, Golden Gai, and Kabukicho—all in one evening with a local guide.

In Omoide Yokocho and Golden Gai, many bars are extremely small, hidden, and not always easy to enter without local knowledge. Some places may feel intimidating or confusing for first-time visitors due to their atmosphere or unspoken rules. Having a local guide makes the experience much more comfortable, as they know which bars welcome guests and how to enter and order smoothly.

The tour also includes a walk through Kabukicho’s neon-lit streets, where your guide explains the area’s history and culture while helping you explore safely and confidently. By combining hidden bars, unique micro-bars, and a guided walk through Tokyo’s most energetic entertainment district, this tour offers a Shinjuku nightlife experience that’s hard to enjoy on your own.

*This is a group tour and all type of group is welcomed including solo-traveler.
