Activity itinerary

Nishishinjuku

Travelers who book this experience in Nishishinjuku will dive into Tokyo’s vibrant food culture by visiting Oreno Sakana, a cozy and authentic local restaurant. Here, they’ll enjoy a curated selection of fresh sashimi and seasonal seafood dishes, sourced directly from local fish markets. Guests can expect to try a variety of cuts, including tuna, salmon, squid, and other delicacies—each served with traditional garnishes like wasabi, shiso leaves, and soy sauce. The setting is warm and intimate, offering a true izakaya atmosphere where locals gather after work. As they dine, travelers will learn about each dish’s background, regional origins, and proper way to eat them. The experience offers a deeper appreciation for Japanese seafood cuisine, beyond what’s typically found in tourist areas. It's not just a meal, but a flavorful journey guided by locals who love sharing Tokyo’s hidden culinary treasures.

Kabukicho

Travelers who join this experience will explore the lively streets of Kabukicho, Tokyo’s known for its dazzling lights and energy. Amid the buzz, they’ll step into Yambaru, a cozy Okinawan restaurant offering a calm, authentic contrast to the busy surroundings. Here, guests will sample a variety of Okinawan dishes, renowned for their health benefits and unique island flavors. The tasting may include specialties like bitter melon stir-fry (goya champuru), Okinawan soba noodles, and juicy rafute (braised pork belly), made with local ingredients rarely found outside the region. The guide will explain the cultural background of each dish and its role in Okinawa’s famously long-lived population. It’s not just a meal—it’s a cultural experience that connects food to history and longevity. As part of the broader Shinjuku food tour, this stop gives travelers a chance to slow down, savor, and discover a lesser known but fascinating part of Japan’s diverse culinary landscape.

Shinjuku Golden Gai

Shinjuku Golden Gai is a famous nightlife district in Tokyo, known for its narrow alleys lined with tiny, atmospheric bars and eateries. Located in the heart of Shinjuku, this area features more than 200 small bars, each with its own unique theme and décor, often only seating a handful of customers at a time. Golden Gai retains an old-school charm with its vintage buildings, neon signs, and intimate settings — a stark contrast to the modern skyscrapers nearby. It’s popular among locals, artists, musicians, and curious travelers looking for an authentic Tokyo bar-hopping experience. While some bars are regular spots for locals, many welcome tourists, offering a unique chance to enjoy drinks and conversation in a retro Tokyo atmosphere.
