Rainy Night and Still Amazing! - What a fantastic time we had on this tour with our guide, Thatcherer. Her knowledge and great personality made the night special.
We started the tour by visiting the basement of a department store, where we learned about Japanese desserts, tea, wine, and scotch. From there, we headed to a local izakaya, where we had the most delicious bar food and sake ever! And there was a lot of it. Don't go on this tour with a full stomach. We then walked the streets, taking in the city's vibe on our way to the Golden Gai. We holed up in an exciting small bar for a few drinks. The place was so fun and we were having a great time, we lost track of time.
I highly recommend this tour!!!!
