I will take you to 3 izakayas (Japanes Bars) that Japanese usually go in Ikebukuro. Shinjyuku will be more famous for bar hopping so Ikebukuro will be more Local place tour (less tourists).
You can save time researching and planning your trip because I will show you places that are usually difficult for tourists to find. I can recommend you delicious foods & drinks and order it for you, so you can take the stress out of language barriers.
Ikebukuro Station West Exit
- We will meet at West side of Ikebukuro station. For details, I will send you directly to your contact number 1 day before our tour.
After meeting and introducing ourselves we will walk to the first Izakaya and enjoy food and drinks there.
After the first Izakaya, we will walk to the second bar. During the walk I will show you great places in Ikebukuro.
At last, we will go to 3rd Izakaya in Ikebukuro.

“So much fun!”
Our family group of 6 people had spent our first full day in Tokyo walking around - more than 20,000 steps worth! By the time it was 7:00pm and time to meet Kuni we were exhausted. When we met, I told Kuni we likely could only make the first stop and we'd have to head back to our air bnb. Kuni was amenable and we headed to our first izakaya on Memory Lane. Long story short, we had a blast! I didn’t think we’d be able to visit more than one place but Kuni's great energy pumped us up and made us want more! I am so glad we didn’t miss Golden Gai. He opened the door and our eyes to places we would never have discovered on our own. It was awesome. Kuni is fun, energetic and has a great laugh. It was wonderful to meet and hang out with him - and his restaurant and food choices were perfect for us after a long day. He re-energized us and we ended the night at a bar in Golden Gai. We didn't shut it down or anything but we had more than one drink and had a great time. We highly recommend Kuni if you want to eat at the gems of izakayas hidden in the alleys of "old" Tokyo. Thank you, Kuni!
