One of the most incredible things you can do enjoy in Japan is savouring delicious food and drinks!
I have made it our mission to uncover unique local spots throughout the city, and I cannot wait to share them with you!
During the food & drinks bar hopping tour, we will visit four places, including restaurant/izakaya, bars and lounge/club. Each spot you visit is interesting and full of personality. In fact, many of these places are not ones you can find easily.
You will get a free welcome shots at each bar (3 welcome shots)! I will be showing you one of my favourite secret restaurants in Tokyo with a lot of delicious food options, so make sure to come hungry and thirsty :)
If you want to continue with your night, I know a lot of places we can recommend to you!
Tokyo has a fascinating nightlife scene that you should experience first-hand!
Get ready to spend the evening chatting, meeting new people & discovering hidden bars and spots in Tokyo!
*If you have a date in mind and don't see any availability, don't hesitate to reach out and let me know! Let me see what we can do :)
**Dinner is not included, we usually do it the Japanese way, sharing a bunch of traditional Japanese food together at the izakaya :)
