Highlights

Explore the deep side of the Kabuki-cho district with local experts. You will learn the history of Kabuki-cho while sipping the excellent sake at a bar in Golden-Gai, which is owned by our company, and wandering around the area. You can choose and customize where to visit from some unique options, such as a traditional shrine located around the neon lights and billboards in Kabuki-cho, a modern art gallery next to a bar, a craft beer pub, and more! Around late March to early April, when it is filled with beautiful Cherry blossoms in Japan, we will take you to the best places to enjoy them at night! You are always welcome to ask any questions about the city; it is our pleasure to share the story and the culture of Kabuki-cho.

About Tokyo

Neon-lit districts, quiet shrines, superb food and distinct neighbourhoods make up Tokyo, a vast, orderly metropolis linked by punctual trains.

Every district feels like its own city. Shibuya's famous scramble crossing and Shinjuku's towers, bars and Golden Gai alleys pulse with energy, while Harajuku mixes youth fashion with the forested calm of the Meiji Jingu shrine. In Asakusa, the Sensō-ji temple and its market street keep an older Tokyo alive, and Ginza offers polished department stores and galleries.

Top-ranked sights in Tokyo: Senso-ji Temple (Asakusa Temple), Tokyo Imperial Palace, Meiji Shrine (Meiji Jingu).
