Top Japan Beer & Brewery Tours - page 3

After guiding passengers for 22 years as a conductor on the JR Chuo Line, Samurai Guide Sho weaves the Chuo Line train ride, local neighborhoods beyond the usual tourist areas, distinctive taprooms, and the character of each beer into one journey. Travel from town to town by train, visiting multiple taprooms and enjoying locally brewed craft beer in the atmosphere of each neighborhood. This time, you are the “passenger.” Travel comfortably both ways from Shinjuku aboard the JR Chuo Line Green Car (premium seating). When the train doors open, a slower side of Tokyo begins. Choose the beers you like, enjoy them at your own pace, and pay only for what you drink. That freedom is part of the appeal of this experience. You can also pick up local food along the way, bring it into the taprooms, and enjoy it with locally brewed beer. No beer expertise is needed. What matters is simply enjoying each beer in your own way and tasting the local beers each town has to offer.

After guiding passengers for 22 years as a conductor on the JR Chuo Line, Samurai Guide Sho weaves the train journey, neighborhoods along the line, local dishes, and drinks at neighborhood bars into one private evening tour. Step off the train and enter the after-dark world of people who live there, a side of Tokyo most visitors rarely see. Tonight, you are the “passenger.” Travel comfortably from Shinjuku or Tokyo Station aboard the JR Chuo Line Green Car (premium seating) and head into neighborhoods where Tokyo locals spend their evenings. When the train doors open, everyday Tokyo comes alive. This is more than a food-and-bar crawl. Travel between neighborhoods by train like a Tokyo local, enjoying local dishes and a casual drink along the way. Following the flow of the evening, visit several carefully selected spots and enjoy the distinct atmosphere, dishes, and drinks of each place. What opens up before you is a Tokyo night shaped not for tourists, but by everyday life.

My name is Koichi. I will guide you to underground restaurants in Shinjuku. This plan includes some drinks and food in the price by default. Shinjuku's Kabukicho is an underground place. "Golden area" is an even deeper place, lined with bars that have an atmosphere like the Japanese version of the speakeasy bars of the US prohibition era. I will introduce three places, selected by me. Koichi, our guide, lives in Shinjuku Ward, about 15 minutes by car from Kabukicho. I know about Shinjuku a lot, and I'm very good at English. I previously lived in Manhattan and Philadelphia for about two years around 2011. I am a certified public accountant of the United States. I have many friends in the United States, Europe, Taiwan, China, Thailand, the Middle East, etc., and is very friendly.
