Authentic Shinjuku Food & Drink Crawl with Yoshi

Have you ever wanted to truly immerse yourself in the local scene, eating and drinking as if you were a local in “Omoide Yokocho (Memory Lane aka Piss Alley” or “Golden Gai(nostalgic bar district)”? This is actually possible only with this tour from Japan Local Experience!　 Shinjuku ward is home to approximately 5,000 dining venues. Yoshi, who has meticulously explored every izakaya (tavern) and bar in the area, will guide you to only the most carefully curated spots. This tour is made possible by Yoshi’s strong trust and connections with the owners of these izakayas and bars. Both Omoide Yokocho and Golden Gai are incredibly charming places, and just walking through them is a missed opportunity in my opinion. You’ll also explore Kabukicho, Asia’s premier nightlife district. Immerse yourself in its uniquely vibrant and chaotic atmosphere. Since you’ve come all this way, I want you to experience it fully. Over 8000 guests have participated in this tour, which has received high praise for six years as a “once-in-a-lifetime experience!. Why not spend an unforgettable evening in Shinjuku, becoming a local with Yoshi and enjoying a fun time?

Discover Fukuoka's NightLife

We'll start the tour by heading to a local bar where you can enjoy original seafoods and other Japanese-style tapas, made with fresh ingredients sourced from all over Kyushu, paired with your choice of drink, including beer, whiskey, sake or the Kyushu favorite, shochu. Then we head to a popular, locally-loved yatai food stall. It's often difficult to know which places have the best food and value for money, but there won't be a problem with my help. These food stalls are a feature of the Fukuoka streetscape, and about half of the existing yatai in Japan are in Fukuoka City. This is a unique experience that's hard to find anywhere else in Japan. Choose from a variety of specialty foods, including Fukuoka's world famous tonkotsu ramen, made with rich pork marrow soup. *Meals & drinks are not included in the tour fee. ※Yatai food stalls may close on days of strong wind, snow or heavy rain. In that case, we will go to an alternative location. Please understand that a yatai food stall visit is therefore not guaranteed. *For vegetarians and those with food allergies Please let me know before booking. ※Your tour booking will be canceled if you are more than 5 minutes late to the meet-up point. The tour fee CANNOT be refunded. See the AirBnB cancelation policy for more information.
