FOOD EXPERIENCE
Eat like a local in Shinjuku

A visit to Shinjuku is an absolute must! This neighborhood represents the city, bustling and lively, with impressive skyscrapers and neon signs everywhere. This visit will take you through the highlights of Shinjuku for an unforgettable experience.

Take a walk in one of the most famous and colorful districts of Tokyo, visiting:

  • Omoide Yokocho with its countless small eateries
  • The gleaming Kabukicho
  • The old-style Golden Gai and its tiny bars
  • Enjoy snacks and Japanese food at some izakaya
  • Every Monday and Saturday at 16:30
  • Small group walks: min 2 - max 12 participants

 

Home to the world's busiest station, Shinjuku is a central transportation hub filled with office buildings, skyscrapers, and department stores of all kinds.
Two million passengers pass through the station every day. Many workers, after work, spend a few hours in the area's many restaurants, bars, or stores.
Not surprisingly, the neighborhood is also home to one of the city's largest red-light districts, the colorful and vibrant Kabukicho.
Start the walk in front of Shinjuku station and move to Omoide Yokocho, or "Memory Lane" (also friendly called "Piss Lane"), a narrow alley home to countless small, old-dated restaurants selling Yakitori and other Japanese specialties.
Then explore the wonders of Shinjuku starting from Kabukicho and the nearby Golden Gai, a small district made of old two-story buildings filled with tiny bars. Bars line the neighborhood's narrow streets; each bar has its style, and it's amusing to admire their signs and style as you walk through the cramped, semi-dark streets.
