📖 Shinjuku food tour: a practical way to discover the district at night

Shinjuku is one of Tokyo’s most intense areas: neon lights, narrow alleyways, izakayas, small restaurants and a lively nighttime atmosphere. On a first visit, it can be hard to know where to go in, what to order or what is really worth trying.

This tour takes care of that practical side. A local guide leads you through Shinjuku for around 3 hours to discover food spots that many visitors would otherwise miss.
