Start your tour by walking through the busy streets of Shinjuku heading straight for Omoide Yokocho (literally “Memory Lane”) as your first stop. Omoide Yokocho is rightfully named as it is littered with rustic food stalls and bars from the 1950s. You’ll feel as if you’ve stepped back in time to the middle of the 20th century. Many of these spots still stay true to their roots, serving roasted giblets with beef and pork, which was a staple when food was scarce after World War II. Have a drink together and some skewers in one of the most charming parts of Tokyo; it will give you a very authentic feeling of Japan as you dine mostly with locals.
From there make your way to Kabukicho, Asia’s largest, yet safest, red-light district. Learn more about this very famous area as your guide explains to you Japanese izakayas, the amazing world of karaoke as well as other hidden gems of Kabukicho. Enjoy two delicious famous foods while hearing the history, and manners of eating different types of ramen.
Finally, head to Golden Gai where you'll sample some very local sushi that you will surely enjoy!
