We had a great evening with Yoshi on his After Dark Izakaya Tour in Shinjuku. All the food and drinks were very good at each stop. We enjoyed his fun commentary and especially the unexpected musical performance at the last stop! Thanks, Yoshi, for an evening of laughs and an easy way to experience a bit of the pub culture of Tokyo.

This was a superb food tour. We joined this on our first night in Japan and it was a great introduction for how to enjoy izakaya, how to navigate the local area, and some handy phrases & etiquette. Yoshi was great energy! He also took special care to accommodate my vegetarian diet as well as another attendee's dietary request too. Plus the food & stops we went to were all excellent! I would highly recommend this tour.

Our group had a great time and really thankful for having Rika as our guide! We got to try some new dishes from the izakaya, enjoyed sake tasting, and had some great drinks at the bar. Highly recommend!

It was a wonderful experience with our host, Yoshi. The food and drinks were yummy, and Yoshi was very personable and able to explain the areas we toured, as well as the traditions, not to mention the food and drink. I would definitely encourage anyone traveling to Japan to take this tour if they are even a little bit familiar with the Shinjuku area. You might learn something, or even make new friends!
