1.Tokyo Bar Hopping Tour in Shinjuku (All-You-Can-Drink + Dinner)

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 3,587 reviews · from $106Our pick

Spend about three hours with a local guide such as Yusuke, Yohei, Mao, or Momo, visiting three Shinjuku izakaya bars. You’ll eat grilled dishes, seafood, vegetables, and other snacks while moving through Omoide Yokocho, Kabukicho, and usually Golden Gai. Drinks are included, and the small group makes entering tiny bars much easier.

“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!”

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 951 reviews · 5 hours · from $27Best value

“Honestly went on a whim and had a great time! My group was slightly smaller than usual so I was told, but it was still a great time. I made some friends and had fun as a solo traveler. The hosts do a fantastic job and you can tell they want you to have as much fun as possible. You won’t regret going honestly one of the best pub crawls I’ve ever done.”

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

Meet near Shibuya Crossing, then follow an English-speaking guide such as Lam, Masa, or Yuki to three compact izakaya bars. You get dinner, beer, sake, other Japanese drinks, all-you-can-drink service at the second stop, and a possible karaoke finale. Small groups of up to 10 keep the evening social and easy to manage.

“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!”

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 147 reviews · from $99

Walk through Omoide Yokocho, Kabukicho, and possibly Golden Gai with a local guide such as Hiro, Ryota, Tak, or Sean. Expect dinner, 6 to 8 food items, three alcoholic drinks, and all-you-can-drink service at one bar. The route can change, and Golden Gai is included by request.

“Experiencing the atmosphere of Shinjuku’s nightlife was so much fun. We were able to visit bars, restaurants and izakayas with a group of 8 people that would have been challenging and a bit intimidating without Hiro’s excellent guidance. 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!”
