Food, Wine & Nightlife in Tokyo

Shibuya Izakaya Tour on Sunny Days (opens in a new tab)

4 h – 5 h

More Than Just an Izakaya Tour: Experience Shibuya’s Nighttime Culture This tour is more than visiting izakayas for food and drinks. It offers an authentic cultural experience of “the Shibuya nightlife that locals enjoy.” Guests will explore iconic landmarks such as the Hachiko Statue and Shibuya Scramble Crossing, as well as Nonbei Yokocho, a historic drinking district dating back to the postwar era. Along the way, they will discover long-established yakitori restaurants and traditional Japanese cuisine while learning about the history and culture of each place. For international travelers, local izakayas can be exciting but difficult to experience alone due to language barriers, unfamiliar customs, or uncertainty about which restaurants to enter. With a local guide, this tour provides a comfortable and authentic way to discover Shibuya’s local nightlife, Japanese food culture, and hidden gems—going beyond the typical tourist experience.

Tokyo Local District Bar Hopping Tour (opens in a new tab)

3 h 30 min

This tour is run by our company, popular SNS (Instagram & TikTok) accounts sharing Japanese underground culture. On this tour, you’ll dive into Tokyo’s real nightlife, enjoying an authentic Japanese bar-hopping experience in Nakano, a district known for its gritty, underground vibe. We guide you to local bars that are difficult to enter without us. You'll also have the chance to interact with locals and feel the real nightlife culture of Tokyo. About the Area “Nakano” : Nakano is one of the most exciting local drinking districts and is known as a subculture neighbourhood in Tokyo. Located just 8 minutes by train from Shinjuku, it is packed with plenty of small restaurants, izakayas, and bars. However, because it is a local spot, many places don't have English menus, making it difficult for foreign tourists to fully enjoy on their own.

Interactive Sumo Show with Chanko Nabe in Ginza (opens in a new tab)

2 h

Sumo is Japan's national sport — but at a tournament you're far from the action. Here in the heart of Ginza, you get as close as it gets: a lively, interactive sumo show where real wrestlers perform right in front of you, and you become part of the fun. An English-speaking host guides you through it all, explaining sumo's history, rituals and techniques in a way that's genuinely entertaining. You'll watch powerful live bouts, learn what the salt-throwing and stomping really mean, split into teams and cheer your wrestler at the top of your lungs — and if you're picked, you can even step into the ring and take on a wrestler yourself (great for photos, even better for stories back home). Then comes the reward: a hearty, all-you-can-eat bowl of chanko nabe, the protein-packed hot pot sumo wrestlers eat every day. You're free to take photos and videos throughout, so you'll leave with a camera roll full of once-in-a-lifetime moments.
