Experience Details
Step beyond the bright lights of Shibuya and Shinjuku and discover a more local side of Tokyo through food and drink.
On this 3-hour evening tour, you’ll visit three standing bars known as tachinomi, a casual style of bar where many Tokyo locals stop for a drink and small bites after work.
These lively spots are simple, social, and full of character. Along the way, enjoy a full dinner made up of different local dishes served at each stop, paired with drinks as you experience the relaxed rhythm of Tokyo nightlife.
The tour begins in Oimachi, a neighborhood just outside central Tokyo that serves as a major transit hub and a favorite after-work gathering place.
With guidance from your local host, explore the narrow streets, food stalls, and cozy bars while learning about the city's everyday dining culture. Your guide can also help accommodate dietary requirements during the tour.
Next, take a short 6-minute train ride to another nearby neighborhood to continue the evening.
Visit more local bars, enjoy additional food and drinks, and experience a side of Tokyo nightlife that many visitors rarely see.

Experience Location
Oimachi is a local Tokyo neighborhood in the central Shinagawa Ward area, located a little way south of the crowds of people busily transiting through Shinagawa Station each day. Offering a local Tokyo vibe, Oimachi brims with cheap eats and small bars, and is packed with shopping opportunities as well as smorgasbords on show in the grand department stores around the station. A reasonable transit hub in itself, Oimachi Station connects the Keihintohoku Line, the Tokyu-Oimachi Line, and the Rinkai Line, which conveniently travels to Odaiba, Disneyland, and the city’s eastern seaside.
Despite the fact that children showed up on the tour and we were not allowed in most places, Andrew provided a nice time for us. We wish we had seen the other places that we couldn't get in.
