What is included in the tour?

Two drinks, such as sake or beer, two Japanese pub dishes, and photos taken during the evening. Transportation to the meeting point is not included.

Why is Omoide Yokocho also called Piss Alley?

The nickname comes from the alley's long history and its single public restroom. Today it is better known for its lantern-lit yakitori stalls and retro signs.

Where does the evening end?

The night finishes with a kanpai toast in one of Golden Gai's small bars.

Are gratuities for the guide included?

No. Tips for your guide are not included and are up to you.

Amazing Experience!

Such an amazing experience ! Sho was an awesome guide. My wife and I loved being able to experience the Shinjuku night life and learn about Japanese culture from an expert. Would highly recommend this experience to all my friends and family.

Fantastic Bar Tour

Syun was a fantastic tour guide and went above and beyond to give us a great experience. The bars were fun and we were both wowed by the sights that we were shown. Highly recommend this tour.
