- Omoide Yokocho - When we are gathered, let’s get to know each other. Then, prepare to immerse yourself in Shinjuku’s drinking street, known as Memory Lane.
We’ll start at Memory Lane and explore the nostalgic Showa-era taverns. You’ll enjoy the atmospheric contrast compared to the bustling business district of Kabukicho in Shinjuku.
In Memory Lane, you’ll also get a glimpse of Shinjuku’s history. Let’s walk down this street, allowing your imagination to wander towards the background of how this lane came into existence and the daily lives of the people back then!
Since it’s not always easy to come across retro scenes, We recommend capturing them in photographs!
We will stop by one of the pubs and enjoy some Japanese street food, such as skewered meat (Yakitori), beer stew, or seafood. Also, you will find the iconic Highball, an alcoholic beverage originating from this very place.
Let’s enjoy local foods and drinks here.

It’s both fun and efficient to visit three places in the neon-lit streets of Shinjuku.
Shinjuku may seem glamorous at first glance, I can introduce you to a bit of its hidden, darker side, visible only to the locals. You can savor the culture not just through dining but also by seeing a pachinko (a unique Japanese gambling game) and playing some games at game centers. We’ll visit the largest shrine in Shinjuku, right in the heart of the neon-lit streets, and you can pray for safety and enjoyment during your future travels.
During the tour, we will convert guests’ names into Chinese characters(KANJI) and provide a handwritten gift. I’ll offer Japanese dagashi (traditional sweets) as souvenirs. I’ll introduce and let you try the latest products from convenience stores, always up-to-date with current trends.
A guide, with experience traveling to over 20 countries, will make your tour not only about Japanese culture and history but also a wide range of interesting topics.
