“We did this experience for my birthday on a Friday night. It was great to have Yohei with us to show us around a busy and lively Shinjuku and the 3 spots we were at were awesome. Highly recommended if you want to experience Shinjuku nightlife but don't know where to start!”

★★★★★★★★★★4.8 · 183 reviews · 3 hours · from $103

“Lam was an excellent guide, he made the group feel welcome and broke the ice, and ensured the experience was fun and immersive. Three countries were represented in the tour attendees, and we all had a great time chatting together once the ice was broken. The drink choices were pretty consistent but good portions, and the the food choices were delicious. Definitely would not have had the bravery to see these spots ourselves so the tour was a great way to run elbows with locals and get a sense of what bar hopping in Japan looks like. Would love another tour with Lam!”

Hiro was a fabulous guide and very friendly. We recommend this tour for both first timers and experienced visitors to Shinjuku. And yes, the food was sooo good!”
