Vé di động
A modern-day Samurai, Sho, who has spent many years drinking his way through Kichijoji,
skillfully wields drinks instead of a sword and guides you on an evening training journey.
An intense story born of a small group of up to five.
The story begins in the nostalgic atmosphere of Harmonica Yokocho.
Blending into the atmosphere of the yokocho and loosening your spirit with a toast, we then move on to the Craft Beer Dojo.
There, you enjoy a diverse selection of Japanese craft beers.
The final stop is artisan sushi.
A quiet moment to complete the night’s story.
Drinks are not served as a fixed set.
At all training grounds, dishes carefully selected by the Samurai are served.
In that moment, you choose the single glass you want to drink most—
this is the practice of pairing.
Which drink will you pair with which dish?
That very hesitation is the joy of the training.
And if you find yourself unsure—
your Samurai Guide will quietly offer a secret word of guidance.

Reserved seats and a perfect introduction to Harmonica Yokocho

5.00A bar in Harmonica Yokocho had reserved seating in a great spot, allowing us to fully enjoy the lively alley atmosphere. The samurai-style outfit of Samurai Guide Sho matched the retro setting perfectly. The Western-style dishes made with Japanese ingredients were delicious. There was a wide selection of Japanese whisky, so it never felt repetitive. It was a great way to experience the nightlife of Kichijoji.
Craft beer, local flavors, and an excellent sushi finish

5.00One stop featured many taps, offering a wide variety of Japanese craft beers. Samurai Guide Sho was friendly with the staff, which made the experience feel relaxed and welcoming. Japanese craft gin, sake, and other drinks were also available, and the gin and tonic was especially good. At a sushi restaurant, seasonal assorted sushi was hand-pressed by the chef and tasted excellent. With generous portions throughout the tour, it was very filling and satisfying.
A Side of Kichijoji Only Locals Know

5.00Kichijoji is such a cool neighborhood, and this tour showed me sides of it I would never see on my own. We visited hidden alleys, small bars, and lively food spots — the kind of local experience you’ll never get from typical tourist tours. Sho (the Samurai guide) made everything easy and fun. He knows the owners, the menus, and the history behind each place. It felt more like hanging out with a local friend rather than joining a tour. I joined alone, but I felt completely comfortable the whole night. The drinks, the food, the atmosphere, and the people were all amazing. If you want a truly local Tokyo night, this is the one. Highly recommended!
The Best Craft Beer We Would’ve Never Found on Our Own

4.00We absolutely loved this tour. Sho took us to a local craft beer bar that we would never have discovered by ourselves, and the fresh draft beer there was incredible. The atmosphere felt so local and authentic, and we enjoyed learning about the neighborhood while walking between spots. It didn’t feel touristy at all — just a genuine experience with great drinks and great company.
I joined Sho’s Kichijoji...

5.00I joined Sho’s Kichijoji bar tour and I had a really good time. Sho is very kind and easy to talk to. He explained Japanese culture in simple English, so I could understand well. We visited small local bars and the atmosphere was very nice. The food and drinks were delicious too. I want to join his tour again next time I come to Tokyo!
A Real Tokyo Night with the Modern Samurai

5.00This Kichijoji Bar Hopping Tour was one of the best experiences of my Tokyo trip! Our guide Sho, the Modern Samurai,took us to three hidden local bars in the alleys of Harmonica Yokocho. The food and drinks were amazing, but what I loved most was connecting with locals and learning about Japanese salaryman culture. Drinking Sho’s favorite craft beer with local people was truly memorable. Highly recommend if you want to experience the real Tokyo night beyond Shibuya and Shinjuku!
