Overview

Experience Tokyo’s nightlife like a local on this small-group bar-hopping tour through the hidden backstreets of Ueno and Ameyoko. Escape the usual tourist spots and explore lantern-lit alleys, standing bars, and cozy izakayas loved by locals for decades. Visit three carefully selected bars and enjoy drinks and Japanese dishes such as sashimi and yakitori at each stop. From lively standing bars to hidden spots beneath the railway tracks, each location offers a different side of Tokyo’s drinking culture. Perfect for solo travelers and small groups, this experience is designed to be relaxed and social. Your bilingual guide will help with ordering, explain local customs, and introduce the etiquette behind Japan’s izakaya culture — from pouring drinks for others to saying “kanpai” together. By the end of the night, you’ll have eaten, drunk, and explored Tokyo like a local.
