The Midnight Diners: Tokyo Experience
Food Tours
Had a fun tour with Naoko! The weather didn't quite cooperate--it rained fairly hard the entire night, but she made the most of itand tried to get us from place to place quickly.
It wasn't super clear in the description for me, but bring cash to pay for drinks at each location.
We had a nice group, and the alcohol got us grooving enough that most of us ended up at a karaoke bar after!
