Bar hopping

Amberly_B, May 2025

It was just Yo and I . He showed me some really cool spots in Tokyo. We ate, sang karaoke. It was rainy, but didn't bother me. We also went to a Saki bar!!!

Haru was an excellent...

Haru was an excellent guide and provided us with great stories around the Shinjuku neighborhood and great recommendations for food.

Great night out!

Beth_R, Apr 2025

We really enjoyed this tour - Haru took us to some great pubs we wouldn’t have otherwise found, in a neighborhood that we found to be confusing to navigate on our own.

must do

This was a great way to explore this part of the city and try traditional Japanese food. Had a great time! m

Sadly was a disappointing experience

Tina_T, Dec 2024

We were super excited for this tour and to explore more about Japanese nightlife culture. Unfortunately the experience was disappointing. Our tour guide is super lovely and communicative. However he was inexperienced and didn’t tell us any stories or insight into Japanese drinking culture as advertised in the tour description. He was accomodating and was willing to adapt the tour for us but there was no solid suggestion or direction as to how the night should progress. We didn’t spend any time at Golden Gai and had no explanation about the history or what the place is about. What we hoped to be a fun and cultural nightlife experience turned out to be quite disappointing and scattered.
