Experience Details
Omoide Yokocho, Kabukicho, and Golden Gai are the quintessential Shinjuku nightlife trifecta. Join Soma and his team of nightlife ninjas for an unforgettable night out in Tokyo’s most famous nightlife district. You’ll visit hidden bars, local watering holes, buzzy izakayas, and learn about the city after dark. Soma was a university student who thirsted for travel, but the pandemic struck. Unable to venture overseas, he turned to his backyard (Japan) for adventure! Soma searched for unique experiences, hidden gems, family-run establishments, and beyond–quickly uncovering a new passion and career path. See what Soma has to offer by joining this unforgettable experience in Tokyo’s famed nightlife quarter. Shinjuku: Tokyo’s electrifying nightlife district, filled with bars, pubs, izakayas, clubs, live music venues, and beyond.
