Definitely recommend! - Amazing! Shota was so much fun! Our group was young mid 20s to 30s and it was a great time to experience the night life especially as a solo woman traveler!

So much fun and worth every penny! - This tour was amazing! Honestly one of my favorite memories from my trip to Japan. Our host, Yoshi, was so hospitable and made sure to talk with everyone so no one was left out. It was really cool getting to meet other travelers and swap stories/tips with them. I really liked getting to walk through the neighborhood from place to place. Kabukicho/Golden Gai is not a place I would really venture in myself, so it was great having a local show us around. The first place was an izakaya - lots of tasty food which our host ordered for us and they had the best drink drink of the night - a yuzu sour. The second place was a tiny sake bar where we barely fit the whole party (not everyone got a seat). I'm not much of a sake person, but it was really interesting to find out what kind of sake I do like. We tried 9 different ones, each toast of "Kanpai!" getting louder than the last. The last place was my favorite - a karaoke bar! It was all you can drink for one hour while we belted out our favorite throwback tunes. Such an awesome time and would do it again in a heartbeat.

Worth every penny! - This tour was honestly one of the most memorable experiences from my trip to Japan. It was really cool getting to meet other travelers and to have a local take us through Kabukicho/Golden Gai. I would have never ended up in the places they took us had I been on my own. My favorite part was singing karaoke with everyone after getting tipsy. So much fun!

Fantastic tour and loads of fun - This was a fantastic experience. We were a large group and that was of some concern to me, but Yuki (hopefully have spelt that correctly) took it all in her stride and handled us very well. Lots of fun at the bars and we continued well into the night after the tour. Would highly recommend this tour
