Overview

We offer an experience like no other. It is " real Japanese culture". Typical Shinjuku experience tours take you to places that are popular with foreigners. For example, "Memoide Yokocho" and "Golden Gai. But to be honest, most Japanese locals have never been there. Most of the people there are foreign tourists, and Japanese people do not go there. In other words, it is no exaggeration to say that these are places for foreign tourists. Can we say that we "experienced Japanese culture" by going there? We do not think so. We take you to izakaya (Japanese style pubs) where "locals" always go. It is not a special place, but if you have Japanese friends, they will say, "What? You went there!" they will be surprised in a good way. We have begun to take action in order to show you the "real Japanese culture". Since we have just started our business, we offer our services at a lower price than usual.

Itinerary

  • Omoide Yokocho

    We will first stroll around "Memories Yokocho" near the meeting place. Although "Omoide Yokocho" is popular among tourists, I have never been there as I grew up in Tokyo. It is famous as a sightseeing spot. There are many stores in "Omoide Yokocho", but we will only stroll around. There are many menus in English and it is easy to enter, so please try it another time!

    10 minutes

  • Seibu Shinjuku Sta. PePe Front Square

    Passing by omoide Yokocho, we will continue to the plaza in front of Seibu Shinjuku Station. Here, you can enjoy a great view of the Shinjuku cityscape. This is often used as a meeting place. The signs for pachinko (Japanese pinball) and electronics stores are among the largest and most powerful in Japan. We will take pictures with the townscape in the background.

    10 minutes

  • Godzilla Road

    Next, enter Gojira Road, the main street of Kabukicho. Godzilla Road is so called because Godzilla is above the movie theaters. Enter this road and Kabukicho begins.

    10 minutes

  • Kabukicho District

    First, enter the first izakaya in Kabukicho. In this izakaya, enjoy mainly food and sake. In the first izakaya, Japanese people enjoy the food and moderate alcohol consumption. Enjoy yakitori, sashimi, and a variety of other dishes. *The cost of the meal is not included in the tour price, so you are free to adjust the quantity*.

    1 hour 20 minutes

  • Kabukicho District

    Then enter a bar in Kabukicho. At the bar, enjoy mainly alcohol. We Japanese will enjoy mainly drinks with moderate meals at the second one. Please enjoy the atmosphere of the bar and communication over delicious Japanese sake. You may have fun communicating with others by practicing your Japanese language skills! Rely on your guide and enjoy conversation with various people! *The cost of the meal is not included in the tour price, so you are free to adjust the quantity*. *The bar may be changed to an izakaya (Japanese-style pub) depending on the availability of the bar. Please understand*.

    1 hour 20 minutes

  • UNIQLO Shinjuku West Entrance

    The tour ends back at the meeting point, UNIQLO. At the end of the tour, everyone will take a picture together to make it a memorable experience!

Nice trip nice tour guide and nice food

Published on Jun, 2024

It was a really fun experience and I would totally do it again! We had really good food and in my many visits to Japan, this is one of the more interesting and repeating worthy experiences.

Very fun bar hopping in Shinjuku

Published on May, 2024

Was an amazing tour with Miria Motto. Went to one Japanese bar and had a fantastic traditional meal, then on to a western style bar for some more great drinks and tried some japanese gin.

Evening tour and bar crawl

Published on May, 2024

Excellent tour provided and got to have try food that we would not have otherwise. Would strongly recommend for anyone wanting to get out and try traditional food

"Satisfied!"

Published on May, 2024

My third time in Shinjuku, and I regret not joining this tour before! It allowed me to experience Japan in ways I could never have found on my own. The fact that food and drink weren't included in the tour price actually turned out to be a plus, as I could adjust the amount I ate to my liking!

Wonderful experience!

Published on Apr, 2024

This is my first trip to Japan. I am glad that I signed up for this tour. Maiko was a great guide and company. She was friendly, passionate, and very knowledgeable. Do not miss this opportunity to stroll through the busy streets of Shinjuku and eat/drink at hidden gems with Maiko. We went way past the specified time as we were having so much fun. One of the best evenings!
