Step into Tokyo after dark and experience Shinjuku’s izakaya culture like a local. Over the course of the evening, you’ll move beyond the usual tourist spots - from a nostalgic wooden tavern that feels frozen in time, to a lively neighborhood bar serving seasonal comfort dishes, and finally to a modern skewer-focused venue tucked inside Omoide Yokocho.

Led by a knowledgeable local guide, you’ll visit three carefully chosen venues, each offering a different atmosphere and approach to food and drink. Along the way, you’ll gain insight into how izakayas work, what to order, how locals socialize, and the unwritten rules that shape Japan’s casual dining culture..
