Overview

This walking food tour in Tokyo’s Shinjuku district focuses on the izakaya dining culture, highlighting local food and drink popular in the area. The tour lasts about three and a half hours and includes more than 14 tastings across four stops. The tour begins in Nishishinjuku, where the group visits two to three izakayas chosen for their authentic local atmosphere and cuisine. The guide leads participants through the busy streets, providing insights into the dining culture. Food tastings here add up to a full dinner portion, accompanied by a selection of drinks served izakaya style. Guests can choose from beer, sake, other alcoholic beverages, or non-alcoholic options. Next, the route continues through the Kabukicho district, Shinjuku’s downtown area known for its neon lights. Along this walk of one to two kilometers, the group visits a well-liked izakaya favored by locals. The tour then proceeds to Shinjuku Golden Gai, where the last official stop involves about 30 minutes of time in the area’s narrow alleys filled with small bars. Before finishing, the tour passes through Omoide Yokocho, a famous alleyway in Shinjuku. The guide will share information about the area and its food scene. The tour includes a professional local guide, local tips, and restaurant recommendations, but guests should inform the operator of any dietary restrictions at least one week in advance since last-minute requests cannot be accommodated. Vegetarian and gluten-free options are limited.
