What you can expect

Explore the streets of Shinbashi and experience how the Japanese working class unwinds after a long day at the office in a maze of eateries, izakayas, and standing bars. A highly recommended MUST-do activity in Tokyo! Go to local spots, this is a perfect tour for people wanting to avoid the “touristy” areas of Tokyo! Let’s try a wide variety of different dishes together and feel the after-work vibe that is a trademark of the buzzing, big city. Don’t miss this unforgettable culinary experience!

In this three-hour tour, we show our guests the endless rows and alleys, twists and turns of Shinbashi, the “salaryman centre” (office workers) of the world. Known for its rustic izakayas and abundant food stalls, we help cut through the noise to show our guests some of the most tucked-away places to grab some of the most satisfying food on the planet.

Starting outside Shinbashi Station, we begin our tour by entering the chasm of eateries overrun on a nightly basis by the working class of Japan. You are instantly surrounded by thousands of salarymen and office ladies descending upon their favourite izakaya bar to grab a quick bite and cold beer before taking the long train ride home.

Not far into our journey, we stop for local bites and an introduction to the drinking and dining culture in Tokyo. We will have the opportunity to discover more about Japan’s unique relationship with beef and the incredible culture surrounding Wagyu.
