Kanpai!

Published on Mar, 2025

Chika and Tiger were awesome tour guides! We learned a lot about Kabukicho and Japanese culture. Plus having recommendations at each stop was so helpful! They customized our stops based on our tastes and taught us how to order in Japanese. We went to places we would not have known existed without them! ありがとうございます!

The real golden-gai

Published on Feb, 2024

Golden-Gai is a really interesting area.... Went to places I'd never think to check out. The vibe was laid-back, and the drinks were top-notch. Shoutout to Chika, our guide, for making it a night to remember. Great for anyone up for something a bit different!

MUST DO!

Published on Feb, 2024

Had a blast on this bar-hopping tour! Found some cool spots that aren't your typical hangouts. Our guide, knew her stuff and made it feel like we were just out with friends. If you're into exploring offbeat places, this is right up your alley!
