Popular for its tiny bars, karaoke rooms, and signature nightlife, Golden Gai is home to some of the most unique izakayas in Tokyo. Each bar has a different theme, and only seats a few people at a time. Visit one bar and grab yourself a cold beer or two, and sip it while munching some yakitori chicken skewers.
