STEP BACK IN TIME AND DISCOVER HIDDEN LOCAL GEMS THAT GIVE SHIBUYA A DEEP CULINARY HISTORY BEYOND ALL THE GLITZ AND MODERN POP CULTURE GLAMOR!

This hidden gem nightlife tour will show you a side of Shibuya that tourists never see. Step back into history, visit spots, and have experiences that locals have enjoyed for decades! Visit drinking and dining stalls that are hiding in plain sight. Learn about the culture of Tachinomi bars where diners snack on local seasonal dishes and drink with friends and coworkers. Try some of the best local Ramen at a favorite shop that has stood the test of time-serving local fans for over 60 years! And have a dessert experience that you will never forget. Your inner child will have so much fun on our last dessert stop, but we can’t tell you much here as we don’t want to spoil the surprise.

We will start off the evening in a classic Tachinomi-a Japanese standing bar ('tachi' meaning stand, 'nomi' meaning drink). Traditionally, they were a no-frills type of bar located around train stations or in working-class areas, where salarymen would come to unwind after a hard day’s work. Let’s kanpai (toast) and kick off the tour in local style.

Japanese ramen has taken the world by storm in recent years but there is nothing quite like a real bowl of ramen enjoyed in the back streets of the big city. We will be visiting a ramen shop with a lot of history that has even been featured in a Japanese manga (graphic novel) — Please note on days when this shop is closed we will visit a backup shop serving amazing regional ramen.

Wind your way along back streets as we head over to our hidden gem izakaya (Japanese pub) wonderland where your guide will help you enjoy some of the best local dishes and drinks with a retro atmosphere like nothing you’ve seen before. Choose your own sake, beer, or special mixed drinks at this spot. (Non-alcoholic beverages are also available) before we head off to a sweet finish with our surprise dessert experience.
