Overview

We offer an experience like no other.

It is " real Japanese culture".

Typical Shinjuku experience tours take you to places that are popular with foreigners. For example, "Memoide Yokocho" and "Golden Gai.
But to be honest, most Japanese locals have never been there.

Most of the people there are foreign tourists, and Japanese people do not go there. In other words, it is no exaggeration to say that these are places for foreign tourists.
Can we say that we "experienced Japanese culture" by going there? We do not think so.

We take you to izakaya (Japanese style pubs) where "locals" always go.
It is not a special place, but if you have Japanese friends, they will say, "What? You went there!" they will be surprised in a good way.

We have begun to take action in order to show you the "real Japanese culture". Since we have just started our business, we offer our services at a lower price than usual.

Itinerary

Stop 1

We will first stroll around "Memories Yokocho" near the meeting place. Although "Omoide Yokocho" is popular among tourists, I have never been there as I grew up in Tokyo. It is famous as a sightseeing spot. There are many stores in "Omoide Yokocho", but we will only stroll around. There are many menus in English and it is easy to enter, so please try it another time!

Stop 2

Passing by omoide Yokocho, we will continue to the plaza in front of Seibu Shinjuku Station. Here, you can enjoy a great view of the Shinjuku cityscape. This is often used as a meeting place. The signs for pachinko (Japanese pinball) and electronics stores are among the largest and most powerful in Japan. We will take pictures with the townscape in the background.

Stop 3

Next, enter Gojira Road, the main street of Kabukicho. Godzilla Road is so called because Godzilla is above the movie theaters. Enter this road and Kabukicho begins.

Stop 4

First, enter the first izakaya in Kabukicho. In this izakaya, enjoy mainly food and sake. In the first izakaya, Japanese people enjoy the food and moderate alcohol consumption. Enjoy yakitori, sashimi, and a variety of other dishes. *The cost of the meal is not included in the tour price, so you are free to adjust the quantity*.

Stop 5

Then enter a bar in Kabukicho. At the bar, enjoy mainly alcohol. We Japanese will enjoy mainly drinks with moderate meals at the second one. Please enjoy the atmosphere of the bar and communication over delicious Japanese sake. You may have fun communicating with others by practicing your Japanese language skills! Rely on your guide and enjoy conversation with various people! *The cost of the meal is not included in the tour price, so you are free to adjust the quantity*. *The bar may be changed to an izakaya (Japanese-style pub) depending on the availability of the bar. Please understand*.

Stop 6

The tour ends back at the meeting point, UNIQLO. At the end of the tour, everyone will take a picture together to make it a memorable experience!
