We love this charming nightlife tour! You will get a chance to enjoy many kinds of sushi and yakitori (skewers) as well as classic RAMEN! (on everyone’s MUST-TRY LIST) Throughout your adventure, you will have the chance to try 10 different Japanese foods.
Start your tour by walking through the busy streets of Shinjuku heading straight for Omoide Yokocho (literally “Memory Lane”) as our first stop. Omoide Yokocho is rightfully named as it is littered with rustic food stalls and bars from the 1950s. You’ll feel as if you’ve stepped back in time to the middle of the 20th century. Many of these spots still stay true to their roots, serving roasted giblets with beef and pork, which was a staple when food was scarce after World War II. We will have a drink together and some skewers in one of the most charming parts of Tokyo; it will give you a very authentic feeling of Japan as you dine mostly with locals. (Please NOTE this tour is for Adults over 20 years of Age)

This was such an interesting tour. We learnt so much about the history of this area and of the part it now plays in modern Japanese life whilst tasting glorious food! Our guide Alex was incredibly knowledgeable and fun. He led us through tiny lanes and alleyways that we would never have ventured to on our own. Alex was very generous with his time and in answering our many and varied questions. This was such a worthwhile tour!

Ray is the best. The tour was amazing. If you are lucky enough to have Ray as your guide, make sure you encourage him to finish the night with karaoke. Great fun!!!

We had the best time on our food tour! We were only in Tokyo for two days and wanted to make sure we tried good food and this was the perfect wat to do it. Our guide Masa was very friendly and made our night so fun and memorable. The food was amazing!! And walking the streets of Shinjuku at night was incredible to see. Highly recommend!

We did this food tour the first night we arrived in Tokyo and it was excellent - a great way to start our trip and get familiar with Shinjuku. Our tour guide Alex was fantastic, and made the experience very fun and interesting. The food was abundant, each stop provided practically a full meal. The ramen in particular was a hit!

We had an amazing tour! Ray, our tour guide was very friendly, personable and most of all fun. Not only did we eat some incredible Japanese food, but we learned about the neighborhoods we visited and history of the area. He definitely went above and beyond what we expected.

Ray was a great guide. He coordinated all the stops and we never waited. He was knowledgeable and friendly and gave us the tour as a story. Great insight into the food and culture associated with it. I recommend this tour as one of the first tours tp take when visiting . Set the stage for the rest of our trip in Japan!

Alex was awesome from start to finish. His warm and outgoing personality felt like hanging with friends for food and drinks. He was incredibly knowledgeable of Japanese culture and shared so much interesting information. We are so glad we did this tour early in our trip so we had better knowledge to find places to eat and we were less timid to walk down the small alley ways! The food was incredible, especially the ramen. Go hungry. You will be stuffed by the end.

We really enjoyed our time on this tour! It was a small group of 4 which was perfect! Ray was extremely personable and you can tell he really cares about his guests experience! We enjoyed all the food we tried and Ray offered special touches like teaching us how to speak some key phrases in Japanese and pointing out unique spots in Shinjuku!
We ended in Golden Gai and sang some karaoke which was a fun way to end!

My wife and I did the Golden Gai Shinjuku Tour and we loved it. The tour was well organized, on time and our tour guide Ray was excellent. Very knowledgeable and selected great restaurants to experience the area. If you visit Tokyo I highly recommend to visit the Golden Gai area and Arigato Tours are a great company to visit the area with confidence.

Ray was a great guide for the tour. Great sampling of different foods. Coordinated the trip so that it flowed smoothly. Don’t snack before the tour! Lots to try. Definitely recommend this tour with Ray and have the tour early in you visit to Tokyo!
