Guided tour

    • Ready to dive into Tokyo’s nightlife? Join a small-group bar hop through Shibuya or Shinjuku and let a local guide take you to 3 hidden izakayas and pubs most travelers never find on their own.

    • Start at Shibuya Crossing, then head into small hidden bars. Try sizzling teppanyaki, Wagyu, meat sushi, yakitori, fried tofu, gyoza, grilled vegetables, and plenty of drinks to go around.

    • Enjoy 3–3.5 hours of bar hopping with an English-speaking guide. 2 drinks at the first stop, unlimited refills at the second, a final round at the last, and 3–4 local dishes. Photos are taken for you, so you can just relax.

    • Upgrade option: Choose the premium Shinjuku pub crawl. Explore neon-lit alleys, quirky bars, and enjoy more food and drinks.

    Additional information

    • While we do our best to accommodate, please note that street food stalls may contain common allergens like dairy, eggs, gluten, nuts, or shellfish.

    • If you don’t drink alcohol, no worries — you can pick a soft drink from the menu instead.

    • You don’t need to cover the guide’s food or drinks.

    • Some venues may allow smoking, and we may not be able to change stops because of it.

    • We cannot guarantee allergy-friendly meals or cater to dietary restrictions since food is prepared in partner kitchens. Substitutions may not always be possible, but we’ll do our best to adjust at other stops.

    • Japan’s weather can be extreme: expect up to 40°C (110°F) in summer and as low as -5°C (20°F) in winter. Please dress accordingly.

    • Tours start on time out of respect for all guests. If you arrive late and miss the group, refunds or rescheduling aren’t possible.
