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.
