Tokyo: Shinjuku Food Tour (13 Dishes at 4 Local Eateries) - Omoide Yokocho: Tokyo’s narrow food lanes

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 6,603 reviews · from $86Our pick

Taste 13 Japanese dishes at four Shinjuku eateries, from Omoide Yokocho to Golden Gai, with drinks, local stories, and a small group.

“It was a nice evening with a variety of local meals and dishes provided, however the only reason we booked this tour was that it was to include the Golden Gai. We didn’t go there even though it was on the booking itinerary. Very disappointing. I don’t like posting negative feedback but it was almost impossible to provide feedback privately.”
