Tokyo Bar-Hopping Tour — Shimokitazawa ("Shimokita")
Best-Price Guarantee · 3 ½ hours · ¥17,000 pp (min 2) · Small group max 5 · 20 yrs +
Meeting point Shimokitazawa Station, East Exit plaza (outside Mr. Donut) 17 : 30 start / 21 : 00 finish
Step into Tokyo's beloved bohemian quarter and taste three radically different faces of its nightlife. From binchō-tan yakitori grilled by a larger-than-life owner, to a kitsch "gingerbread-house" bar where you bring your own vinyl, and finally an Okinawan speakeasy serving barrel-aged awamori, this walkable tour captures the soul of Shimokitazawa—tiny bars, vintage vibes, and warm local chatter. Your bilingual guide translates menus and banter so you can focus on clinking glasses with the regulars.
