Ken brings the party! HE IS MORE THAN KENOUGH!! - Ken was an amazing guide for our evening. He was able to answer any questions we had and was very personable. He facilitated a nice atmosphere to get to know other travelers and welcomed us into Japanese drinking culture without pressuring anyone! He’s also really good at Karaoke which made us more confident.

Riku is the man! - Riku was the best guide. Honestly didn't have any expectations but this night was so fun. Met some really cool people and went to some cool places that I wouldn't have seen myself. Totally worth it!

Fun Shinjuku night overview - Scott was a charismatic and fun guide and mixed in Japanese culture and history within a fun bar hopping experience. I’ve been to Tokyo and still learned and saw some new things and had a ton of fun in this group tour!

Isakaya and Drinks - Riku was amazing, very friendly, very hospitable. Took us to three places, all with great food: great barbecue, great beer, great sake, and great karaoke. Definitely will call him next time in town. He's very down-to-earth and friendly.

Quick Shinjuku introduction and great to meet people on a Saturday in Japan - So it turned out that the regular izakaya-tour guide called out so the guide that we (a group of 12 total) received that evening was up-front that he usually does the day tours lol. He told us he doesn't drink and wasn't familiar with sake or nightlife, so in that sense it was a bit of a bust. My husband and I do tours when we arrive to get a lay of the land, tips on where to go, how to do things etc and the guide couldn't help with this. He was really nice though, fluent in English, and shared with us what he could but it was obvious that he was out of his element. It wasn't any of the guides noted in the reviews prior to this review (late Dec 2024). However the cluster of people that we met up with that Saturday night were really great and we decided to carry on for more karaoke + food after the tour ended, so in that sense it was a success! Bring cash because food and bev were not included and things were split evenly. A bit more clarity upfront on prospective costs in the tour description would've been appreciated. It didn't bother us but if I can see it being an issue if you're not prepared to do so. Also it easily doubled the cost of the tour, in which case I would've considered the a different more expensive tour with food/drinks included in the price. We did eat and drink very well. Walked through Yokocho, Golden Gai, then ate at a yakitori place followed by karaoke. Overall was worth it to meet people and get an introduction to nightlife in Shinjuku on our first Saturday in Japan.

If you like drinking… - This tour really focusses on drinking rather than the food, which was a disappointment to a number of people on the night we did it. The visit to Omoide Yokocho was just a quick walk through at the start with no context or information provided, before visiting a mainstream restaurant in Kabukicho where we ordered off our phones. The bill was split by how many attendees, rather than what we ordered to eat or drink, which felt a bit inequitable. At the other 2 bars there was nothing organised to do except drink and talk to other attendees. This tour would be greatly improved by sharing more local knowledge and culture, rather than the “drink as much as you can” attitude. The night was fun, but that was because of the people we met, not the tour itself.
