Things to do in Shinjuku Golden Gai

Had a fun time! We had 15 people in our tour group. checked out an Izakaya and our host ordered different food and drinks for us. Was good trying out different yakatoris. We then did a sake tasting at our second spot, and that was interesting tasting them all. Then we ended the night at a small karaoke bar. My friend and I had to cut it short, but we had a good time.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ We had an amazing time on the Shinjuku Dinner Food Tour with Elena! This ended up being so much more than just a food tour. Every stop had delicious food, but what really made the experience special was all of the history and cultural insight Elena shared along the way. She explained the stories behind the neighborhoods, local customs, and traditions in a way that made everything we were seeing and eating much more meaningful. It felt like exploring Shinjuku with a knowledgeable friend rather than just following a tour. The pace was perfect, the food was fantastic, and we left with a much deeper appreciation for Japanese culture than we expected. If you’re visiting Tokyo, I highly recommend doing this early in your trip—it gave us a better understanding of the city and helped us feel more confident exploring on our own. Thank you, Elena, for such a memorable evening. This was one of the highlights of our time in Japan! Worth every penny.

I am traveling with my 24 year old son. we usually are adventurous but this looked fun and didn’t disappoint. Our guide was fantastic, she spoke perfect English, knowledgeable and shared her love for Japan. However that wasn’t the best part. It was like going out on the town with an old friend it didn’t feel like a tour at all. The food and drinks were exceptional and I would highly recommend it!

This bar hopping tour was absolutely incredible to have met different people from all over the world and to connect and share some stories and laughters of our amazing adventure while touring Japan. The foods and drinks on each bar are so good and very appetizing. Our tour guide was excellent providing us some amazing history and stories about the places we pass by in Shinjuku. I highly recommend this bar hopping tour while you’re in Shinjuku.

We had a great experience with our tour! This guy Naoto is cool and fun tour guide you can get. If you are a food lover, you’ll like this tour cause they will give recommendations on where to eat and brief history behind every locations. They also take good pictures for you. This is highly recommended if you are coming to Shinjuku.

this is a nice photo shoot trip. Mr.Yuto is very friendly and polite. he took me around Shinjuku, Shinjuku-sanchome, shinjuku-gyoenmae. the best one i like is Golden Gai, never been there before. nice to took many photo here.

Karin was super amazing throughout the trip! We really appreciate her knowledge and insights! We are thankful for accommodating us even though we are the only ones who attended the trip.
