If you're a foodie and like to try different drinks! This is the tour for you. Shingo is such a fun tour guide and is very knowledgeable and will make you feel like you are out drinking with good friends. What a wonderful time and experience. Highly recommend. You won't regret it :)

Response from Host, Jun 2025

Thank you so much for the awesome review! I'm really glad you had a great time—it honestly felt like a night out with good friends! By the way, are you using that Japanese knife you got at Tsukiji Fish Market? 😄 Maybe it's time to start making sushi at your restaurant? Haha! 🍣 Come back anytime—round two is waiting! 🍻

A great night out!!!

A great experience! A memorable night out in the entertainment district. Shingo is a top notch tour guide. Although I was the only one on my tour, Shingo made it an enjoyable night out. His knowledge of the area is supburb - taking me to places I would have never found on my own. The food and drink were delicious. I would highly recommend and will schedule other tours with Shingo when I return.

Expert and easy going bar hopping.

5++. This is your English speaking local, a friend in Tokyo. Expert and easy going bar hopping in these deep waters. He showed us a great time and we learned a lot about in Tokyo. This is your man. Phenomenal communication, we got delayed a bit and he was in constant contact on WhatsApp. That was very impressive and reassuring.
