So, let a local guide lead you to three distinct food stops in this popular area, where you can savor the sizzling, salty and savory flavors of izakaya cuisine and wash them down with two drinks. You’ll also get to see the highlights of Shinjuku as you stroll through Kabukicho, Golden Gai and Omoide Yokocho. Perfect for first-time visitors, this tour will introduce you to authentic Japanese flavors as you explore the city with a local.

Your host will take you to three different eateries, each with its unique atmosphere and food and drink specialties while doing their best to accommodate your likes and dislikes and introduce you to new and delicious dishes you might’ve never tried before.
