Experience Details

Omoide Yokocho, Kabukicho, and Golden Gai are the quintessential Shinjuku nightlife trifecta. Join Soma and his team of nightlife ninjas for an unforgettable night out in Tokyo’s most famous nightlife district. You’ll visit hidden bars, local watering holes, buzzy izakayas, and learn about the city after dark.


Shinjuku: Tokyo’s electrifying nightlife district, filled with bars, pubs, izakayas, clubs, live music venues, and beyond. No trip to Tokyo is complete without a visit to Shinjuku, so tick it off your list with confidence by joining this after dark tour. You’ll tour Omoide Yokocho, Kabukucho, and Golden Gai–stopping for drinks and food along the way.


Omoide Yokocho–also known as ‘Memory Lane’–is a nostalgic quarter lined with tiny eateries and standing bars. You'll feel like you've stepped back in time as you weave through the narrow passages and embrace the old-world charm of Japan.
