Highlights
On this tour, you'll get a glimpse into how Japanese people spend their time after work. Bar-hopping culture is an inseparable part of Japanese culture. We will meet in Ginza, one of Japan's most prestigious entertainment districts. In Tsukishima you can sample Monjayaki, a hidden gem of local food. Explore Shinbashi, the mecca of after-work entertainment, while learning about its history and Japan's bar-hopping culture. We introduce hidden gems that you won't find on regular tours, and the deeper aspects of Japanese culture that are deeply rooted in Japanese life. Two drinks and four snacks are included throughout the tour. If you order more drinks or snacks than are provided on the tour, you will be responsible for your own expense. We will generally visit recommended izakayas, but this can be changed if desired. If you have any food allergies, please be sure to let us know in advance.

Itinerary
As the sun sets, walk the streets of Ginza and learn about Japan's cultural development. We will learn about the history and culture of Ginza with the Seiko Clock Tower, a Ginza landmark, as our backdrop. Ginza began as a silver coin mint during the Edo period and has developed into one of Japan's leading high-end commercial cities. Experience the cultural development of Japan in Ginza, where old, long-established stores and cutting-edge commercial facilities coexist.
Before heading out after 5pm, try Tsukishima's soul food, Monjayaki (or Okonomiyaki). The roots of monjayaki lie in a sweet called mojiyaki, but during the Taisho era it evolved into okonomiyaki in Kansai and monjayaki in Kanto. Learn about the development of Japanese food culture at Tsukishima's famous Monja Street.
Enjoy Japanese after-5 culture in Shinbashi, the mecca of Japanese bar-hopping. You will experience the izakaya culture that began in the Edo period and "bar hopping," an essential part of Japanese culture. After visiting Shinbashi SL Park, which is said to be the birthplace of Japanese railways, we will visit two izakayas on the back corridor street that only locals know about.

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).
