Activity itinerary

Shinjuku Golden Gai
  • 30m
  • Admission ticket not included
Golden Gai is a small nightlife district located in Shinjuku, Tokyo, known for its narrow alleyways packed with tiny, unique bars. It originally developed from a post-war black market area and has retained a retro, old-school charm. Here’s a simple overview: Tiny bars in narrow alleys: There are over 200 bars, most with space for only a handful of customers. Unique themes: Many bars are themed around music, art, film, or literature, often reflecting the owner’s personal interests. Old Tokyo atmosphere: Despite growing popularity among tourists, Golden Gai still maintains a nostalgic, Showa-era vibe. Regulars and newcomers: Some bars cater mainly to locals and regulars, while others welcome tourists and first-time visitors. In short, Golden Gai is a maze-like area full of character, offering a glimpse into Tokyo’s underground bar culture and its post-war history.
