Experience Details
Enjoy an authentic night out at Shinjuku Golden Gai, one of Tokyo’s most famous nightlife hubs. A secluded scramble of narrow alleyways and lantern-lit side streets packed with tiny izakaya restaurants and bars, Golden Gai is located right at the heart of the Kabukicho entertainment district of Shinjuku but away from the neon signs and bustling atmosphere of its busiest streets.
Its local mom-and-pop bars and restaurants offer an authentic Tokyo nightlife experience. Enjoy sizzling street foods like yakisoba or karaage fried chicken over cold drinks as you rub shoulders with locals. Looking for juicy grilled yakitori skewers, or perhaps you’d like to see a nostalgic retro-themed bar? Be sure to let your guide know what you’d like to see, eat, or drink, and they will handpick three izakaya restaurants to best fit your preferences. A meal and a drink at each are included in the experience price.
