Come along with me to discover the best late-night food and drinking spots in Tokyo! I’ll take you along to some of the most authentic local izakaya (Japanese gastropubs), like tachinomiya (standing bars) or yakitori (chicken skewer) bars in Shinjuku. You’ll visit places that only locals know about and experience Shinjuku nightlife like a local. Outside of the overcrowded and touristy areas of Shinjuku, you can really get to know the local atmosphere of the city and experience Japanese drinking culture for yourself. Prepare yourself for some tasty grilled Japanese dishes, paired with Japanese sake, beer, and other drinks.
So, what are you waiting for! Let’s go and meet a lot of colorful and exciting people. Let's explore the best places to enjoy your night life in Shinjuku!

I joined this tour alone, and it was a truly unique experience that I couldn't find anywhere else. The guide had extensive knowledge of the local area and took us to hidden gems, making the whole experience incredibly enjoyable.
Every place we visited had delicious food and drinks, and I fully enjoyed the nightlife atmosphere of Shinjuku! The guide was very friendly, which made it easy to connect with others on the tour, even though we had just met. I highly recommend this tour for solo travelers. There's also the opportunity to take photos at some great photo spots, allowing you to capture lasting memories.
This tour is worth more than its price, and as a solo female traveler, I felt completely safe and secure throughout. Thanks to this tour, I now have wonderful memories. If you want to enjoy a bar-hopping experience in Shinjuku, I highly recommend this tour.
Best guide!! Thank you!!!

Yoshi-san was a fantastic izakaya tour guide! He gave us some great advice about how to find great izakaya, how to avoid bad izakaya, how to order at izakaya, information on the dishes/drinks we ate, and gave us some great information about Japanese culture and food! He also noticed that my husband and I knew some basic chopstick manners and used it as an opportunity to educate us about chopstick manners! Yoshi-san was also very personable and fun to get to know!
I felt very taken care of during this tour. As a celiac in Japan, eating can be a really tough challenge (I ate a lot of hard boiled eggs and fruit in Osaka). But Yoshi made sure that I had more than enough celiac-safe food to eat, and fantastic food at that! I had delicious wagyu (for a negligible extra fee), chicken meatballs (tsukune), grilled scallops, stingray fins, fried fish-wrapped cucumber, and potato wedges - all gluten free! The sake was also naturally gluten free and very smooth and fruit-forward - delicious.
Finally, we went to a bar with anime-themed drinks for our last drink and Yoshi-san sang a fabulous rendition of "It's My Life" by Bon Jovi, which has been an earworm ever since, haha. Then we all sang karaoke together for a bit before saying good night. Yoshi-san left us with personal food gifts from Japan. It was a really nice touch. And he sent us all the location/food/drinks info from our night!
If you're questioning whether or not you should go on this tour, do it! It'll be a great time!

This tour came recommended to me by a friend and I’m so glad we did it. Perfect first night in Tokyo. Yoshi was funny, kind, and informative and he went out of his was to make sure I, as a vegan, had tasty things to try. He has relationships with many bars and restaurants so it makes you feel at home in the city. Great experience!

This tour was absolutely worth it! I wish we did it at the beginning of our trip because Yoshi taught us so much about Japanese etiquette, tips on how to find great bars or places to eat, and helpful words/phrases. The food and bar choices were great! Fun to try some traditional Japanese items.

Our experience with Yoshi was a ton of fun and a nice way to walk around and get to know the city. Yoshi is hilarious and gives good tips to Japanese food and drink culture as well as other recommendations for other places to go on your own time.
I would recommend doing his tour early in your Tokyo visit.

Yoshi was an amazing guide and took us places in Shinjuku that made us feel like we were drinking and eating like locals! The group was a good size of a few other tourists and Yoshi made sure to teach us all a few Japanese customs and etiquette pieces to use later on in our trip. Would recommend to anyone looking to drink and eat in Shinjuku, but not comfortable going into locations by yourself!
