Great tour with a great tour guide - Had a great tour with Icchan, would definitely do it again. He was super knowledgeable about Japan's history and culture, took us to three great spots for drinks and food across different areas of Tokyo and we had a blast. Would definitely book with them again!

Few single people and couples, variety of reasons for travel, honestly a brilliant way to make some pals for a short time. Our group really was great fun. Our guides were great fun too and very knowledgeable. The food at 2 places was unexpectedly delicious! Don’t eat before you do tho your 🤣💕 Loved it, a highlight of our time in Tokyo!

Excellent experience. Tasty and delicious too!! - We had the best time on this trip. We were taken down narrow alleyways and squeezed into venues that only held room for five or people, and we’re given lots of delicious food and drink options. The tour lasted about 3 1/2 hours but the time went by so quickly because it was so fun. Highly recommend this off the beaten track look at parts of Tokyo you would not normally run into.

Fun evening in Shinjuku - Really enjoyed the food, drinks and new people we met visiting 3 places in Shinjuku. Our guide Akira was great - he walked us through several interesting streets and gave us a fun quiz at the end of the night. Highly recommended!
