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.
