Highlights
- Mitsukoshi Ginza - The Tokyo nightlife starts after 5 pm and that’s when the tour starts. We will meet at Mitsukoshi Ginza, in front of the statue of Lion facing Chuo street. Please remember that this tour starts on time.
- Ginza - After enjoying Wagashi, we will walk through Ginza filled with night lights and people who are enjoying the nightlife. We may drop at the Itoya stationary store.
- Tsukishima Monja Street - Monja restaurant - We will catch a subway to a very local downtown area. This town is known for Monja, which is originally from Tokyo. We will enjoy cooking it on the grill on the table.
- Yurakucho Yokocho - We’ll end our tour in Yakitori Alley, near Yurakucho, an area with many casual bar-style restaurants and the birthplace of yakitori, one of many Japanese people’s favourite appetisers.

Fun and good food - Despite the number of stairs! this was a fun tour with a good group. Mizuku is a great guide with a good sense of humour who related well to all of his guests. We tried a number of foods (and drinks) that we have not seen or heard of before and went into eating establishments we would never approach on our own.

Not as depicted (titled) - The tour guide was sweet and understanding, BUT this is not a food tour. It is a shopping tour with a meal at the end. I probably should have read the comments better to understand.
