Really enjoyed the Izakaya tour in Shinjuku. It was a fun way to see a local side of Tokyo and try some great food and drinks that I probably wouldn’t have found on my own.
Brian was a great guide and made the whole evening really easygoing. He was friendly, knew a lot about the area and the food, and was happy to answer all our questions. We had a lot of laughs along the way too.
Overall, it was a really enjoyable night and one of the highlights of our time in Tokyo. Would definitely recommend it if you’re looking for a fun night out in Shinjuku.

Tour worth every penny!
Amazing tour and amazing guide!
Best opportunity when you want to explore different sides of izakaya and drinking culture in japan.
Guide - Brian was extremely knowledgable and even had a small presentation, so kids can also interract. In terms of portion size, after visiting all 3 spots unique spots with different types of food, I was absolutely done for the day. Not only I had a chance to try different type of fishes, meats, etc., but also small appetizers that I've never heard about in Japanese cuisine, but allowed me to experience that real local experience, as there were no foreigners in sight. :)

Amazing night experience Shinjuku Izakaya Tour
Tried their Shinjuku Izakaya Tour and really enjoyed it. In a single evening, we visited three different izakayas, each with unique food specialties and signature dishes. Our guide Brian brought amazing energy and came incredibly well-prepared—he shared fascinating insights about the food, Japanese cuisine concepts, and the neighborhood's history.
It was about ~3 hours and the pacing was great. There was plenty of time to take in Shinjuku atmosphere and really experience each location without feeling rushed. Each izakaya had its own welcoming vibe.
Our guide Brian brought amazing energy and was incredibly well-prepared with detailed knowledge about the food, cuisine concepts, and local history.
Best for: Anyone wanting to explore authentic izakaya culture and discover hidden gems in Shinjuku. Great for food lovers and culture enthusiasts.
10/10, highly recommend!

Had a great time!
Shinjuku izakaya tour was great! Our tour guide Brian took me to spots I doubt I’d be able to find by myself. Every stop had delicious food and different vibes. I had such a great time that 3 hours flew by! I would definitely book another tour with Brian!

Best izakaya tour!
I had such an amazing time on this Japanese izakaya tour! It was one of the highlights of my trip. The guide was incredibly friendly, knowledgeable, and made the whole experience feel fun and authentic from start to finish.
We visited several local izakayas that I never would have went on my own, and each place had its own unique atmosphere and delicious food and drinks. It was the perfect mix of great drinks, tasty dishes, and learning about Japanese food culture and nightlife. I especially loved getting to try a variety of dishes and seasonal drinks while hearing the stories and history behind them.
What made the tour extra special was how welcoming and personal it felt. It felt like going out for the night with a local friend who knows all the best hidden spots.
I highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Japan who wants a fun, memorable, and authentic night out. Whether it’s your first time in Japan or you’ve been before, this izakaya tour is absolutely worth it!

Deep Local Dive into Shinjuku’s Izakayas
The guide was super knowledgeable about the izakaya world. I didn’t know it went so deep. I had a chance to learn about history of izakaya and Shinjuku too. Three hours of drinks, ALOT of food, and just fun convo with the guide. It was chill but also well planned. I can tell they had done a lot of research. I wouldn’t know where to start with all the drinking holes in Shinjuku. The guide took us to places only locals knew, with very few tourists. Felt like a curated tour!

Friendly guide + Great Food/Drink = Unforgettable Night
A great tour to go on with a couple friends of even solo! Our guide Brian really knew his stuff and took us to three different izakayas where we tried the best food and drink pairings I had during my entire trip to Japan. If you are looking to learn about Japanese culture while actually eating and drinking amazing food chose this shinjuku izakaya tour. Thank you Brian for the great tour!
