Shinjuku Retro Izakaya & unique Bar Tour

The tour starts in front of UNIQLO at Shinjuku Station West Exit. While the guide explains the tour overview, you’ll enjoy a walk through the area while learning about Shinjuku’s charm, cultural history, and key highlights. We’ll also stop at several spots to take memorable photos along the way.

Step into a nostalgic Showa-era izakaya, designed to recreate the atmosphere of Japan in the 1950s–70s. The interior is filled with retro decorations, vintage toys, and traditional elements that evoke old-town Japan. You’ll enjoy classic Japanese comfort foods that have been loved by locals for generations, served in a casual and lively setting.

Shinjuku Golden Gai is a unique nightlife area in Japan that still strongly reflects the atmosphere of the post-war era. Narrow alleys are lined with over 200 tiny bars, each with its own distinct theme and character. This area was once a gathering place for writers, film directors, and artists, and even today it retains a mature cultural spirit and a strong local vibe. Because it has not been overly commercialized, it can feel a bit intimidating for first-time visitors, but on this tour, your guide will explain the area and help you enjoy it with ease.
