  Shinjuku Golden Gai

  Start your night in the heart of Tokyo’s nightlife — Shinjuku Golden Gai — with a casual drink to break the ice.

It’s the perfect way to ease into Tokyo’s nightlife while learning the stories, culture, and hidden rules of Golden Gai from your local guide.

  Shinjuku 3 Chome

  Next, we take a short walk through Shinjuku’s neon-lit streets to a local DJ bar — a hidden side of Tokyo’s nightlife that most visitors never discover. Unlike large nightclubs, DJ bars in Tokyo offer a more intimate and relaxed atmosphere, where music takes center stage without the overwhelming crowds. Here, you can enjoy everything from hip-hop and house to disco and throwback hits — a true reflection of Tokyo’s diverse and ever-evolving music scene. Grab a drink, settle in, and let the music guide the night. Whether you're chatting with your guide, connecting with other guests, or simply soaking in the vibe, this stop is all about enjoying great music in a casual, welcoming setting.

  Shibuya

  Finally, we head to a larger nightclub to experience the high-energy side of Tokyo’s nightlife — with skip-the-line access so you can dive straight into the action. Depending on the night’s events and crowd, your guide will choose the best club in either Shinjuku or Shibuya — always selecting a lively, local-favorite venue filled with great music and an electric atmosphere. Your guide will navigate everything, so you can simply enjoy the moment without worrying about lines, entry systems, or language barriers. Toward the end of the night, you’re free to stay longer at LEVELS, continue on to a secret after-party spot, or wrap up near Shinjuku Kabukicho or get back to your hotel.
