The man, the myth, the legend-YOTA!! - Yota was our guide for an evening of food, fun, and festivities. We started the night with a drink and some delicious skewers at a very small restaurant. We also went to an all you can eat & drink restaurant (for 1 hour) where we crushed the original drink record! Proceeded to finish the evening at another questionably small bar that my large American group barely fit in haha. Yota was extremely courteous, patient, and educated us on the language, cultural, and Japanese customs throughout the entire tour. Yota was amazing and truly had a significant impact on our perception of Japanese hospitality. Would recommend this tour to anyone/everyone Yota can do it all!

Shinjuku and Golden Gai Tour - Tak took us on a fantastic tour of shinjuku, taking us to some local spots that we would have never had found as western tourists. He is also a brilliant drinking partner with great conversation and a lovely and welcoming personality. Wholeheartedly recommend!

Yota was the best - What can I say other than this is the best tour of Tokyo that you can take part in. Yota was our guide and we couldn’t have had a better time. I would recommend this tour to anyone visiting Tokyo, especially if you have Yota as a guide.

Fun times! - I wanted to go out drinking and enjoy the Tokyo nightlife but didn't feel comfortable doing it alone so I booked this tour. I am so happy I did, I had a great time! Went to several places, all with different vibes and had great food and drinks. Our guide, Tak was super fun, knowledge, and great to talk to. I would 100% recommend this tour!

Great experience of the hidden bars and popular areas - Really great trip, Tak took us to three really varied bars and let us see some of the smaller hidden places we'd have missed! He also showed us the big bars and some great food! Really great tour we both enjoyed

Great way to start and learn about the area on your trip - Our guide Hiro super nice and was very well traveled which gave him a lot of knowledge about the different areas we were exploring. We ended up visiting some staple shrines along the journey as well as the 3D cat and Godzilla ave. Even had some drinks and yakitori in a small locals only spot. We had so much good food and drinks. We left the evening very full and slightly tipsy…the perfect night.
