EXCLUSIVE: Small-Group Local Izakaya & Bar Tour!

Step into the heart of Tokyo’s most beloved neighborhood.
Forget the crowded tourist hubs. Tonight, you’re invited to go where the locals go. Kichijoji is famous for its "Harmonica Alley" and hidden family-run gems, and we’re taking you behind the scenes to the spots that don't appear in English guidebooks.

Experience Hashigo-zake (bar-hopping) at its finest—tasting unique local specialties and sipping drinks in intimate settings where every guest is treated like an old friend.

What Makes This Night Special:
True Local Gems: 4–5 authentic spots curated by guides who live and breathe Kichijoji culture.

Beyond the Menu: Learn the stories behind the food and the customs of the Japanese "drinking table."

Intimate & Personal: We keep groups small so we can fit into the best "hole-in-the-wall" spots that larger tours simply can’t enter.

    Hamonika Yokocho Kichijoji

    Come and enjoy an exhilarating adventure through the labyrinthine alleys of Harmonica Yokocho in Kichijoji, Tokyo - a hidden gem far from the tourist-packed streets of Shibuya and Shinjuku. This four-hour guided tour will immerse you in the authentic local life of Tokyo, taking you to 4-5 off-the-beaten-path izakayas and bars that even Google Maps can't reveal. You'll uncover a lively local scene as you navigate the narrow alleys. Enjoy authentic Japanese flavors at small standing bars and intimate izakayas, where you'll mingle with friendly locals and experience the real Tokyo nightlife. But the journey doesn't stop at drinks - indulge in various street food delicacies that line the alleyways. Try hot taiyaki and taste seasonal snacks from food stalls. Your knowledgeable guide will unlock doors to hidden gems that most tourists never find! It's not just a tour; it's a journey into the heart of local Japanese culture that you won't find in any guidebook.
