Highlights
Escape central Tokyo’s crowds by train with a former conductor and explore local craft beer taprooms along the Chuo Line. The “passenger” on this journey is you. Travel comfortably from Shinjuku Station or Tokyo Station on the JR Chuo Line Green Car (premium seating) with Samurai Guide Sho, who spent 22 years as a conductor on this line. Once his workplace, the Chuo Line is now the stage for your journey. As the scenery shifts outside the window, step off into everyday Tokyo, away from tourist spots. At small taprooms along the line, savor craft beer brewed by local microbreweries while taking in each town’s atmosphere. Bring local food into the taprooms to enjoy with your beer. This is more than a craft beer crawl. The train ride and time in each town form a private railway journey just for your group. No beer expertise is needed. Just take your time to enjoy the rhythm of the Chuo Line, each town’s character, and local craft beer in your hand.
