Full Description

Get ready for a night out you’ll never forget. This guided nightlife tour in Shinjuku, one of Tokyo’s most vibrant entertainment districts, gives you a genuine taste of how locals spend their evenings — full of flavor, laughter, and unforgettable experiences.

Your expert local guide will take you to handpicked, off-the-beaten-path spots that locals love but tourists rarely discover.

Stop 1: Izakaya (Japanese Pub)

Kick off your night at a cozy and bustling izakaya — a local pub known for its delicious karaage (fried chicken) and yakitori (grilled skewers). This place is hugely popular with locals, and thanks to our guide’s connections, you’ll enjoy dishes usually requiring reservations.

Stop 2: Karaoke Bar (Not a Booth)

Next, ditch the typical karaoke box and visit a karaoke bar with an open floor plan, where locals sing in front of a small crowd. This unique experience blends music, community, and fun in a truly Japanese way.

Stop 3: Ramen Restaurant

End your night like a true Tokyoite — with a steaming bowl of ramen. Your guide will bring you to a ramen spot that’s been featured on national TV, beloved for its bold flavors and late-night charm.

Bonus Stop (Optional): Golden Gai

Want to capture the spirit of Shinjuku nightlife? Stop by Golden Gai — a tiny alleyway of micro-bars with personality and atmosphere. Your guide will help you snap some memorable photos (no extra charge).
