Why this tour

What makes this walk different

1

Spots locals actually drink at

No tourist-menu izakaya. Your guide takes you to a food hall, a hidden backstreet spot, and a retro candy-themed bar that most visitors never find on their own.

2

Dinner and drinks, fully planned

5-6 dishes and 3 drinks are included across the three stops. No menu guesswork, no translating, just good food and drink chosen by your guide.

3

Learn izakaya culture as you go

Your guide explains the customs: how to order, how to split dishes, what to say before you drink. By the end of the night you'll know how to do it yourself.

Meet the guides

Who will show you around

Trip Port guides are locals who love talking about Tokyo. Here is who might show you around.

Ryota
RyotaTrip Port guide

Founder of Trip Port · Tokyo local · grew up in the US

“First-timers often picture a loud pub crawl, but this is closer to a relaxed, guided evening at your own pace, just three spots and real conversation along the way. By the end you understand izakaya culture instead of just drinking through it.”

Trip Port guide · Tokyo

“My favourite stop is Dagashi-Bar, walls lined with the cheap nostalgic candy I grew up buying at corner shops, paired with your third drink. Starting at Teng Grand Food Hall is a great way to taste several dishes without committing to one menu.”
Sota

Trip Port guide · Tokyo

“I like teaching guests the customs as we go: how to order at an izakaya, how to split dishes, what to say before the first sip. It's the kind of nightlife etiquette that's hard to pick up without someone explaining it stop by stop.”
How guides are assigned: Trip Port matches a guide to your date after booking. You will get your guide's name and photo by email before the tour.

The walk

Stop by stop

Teng Grand Food Hall
1Teng Grand Food Hall

A lively food hall inside Shibuya Mark City

We start inside Teng Grand Food Hall, a bustling multi-vendor food hall where different counters serve everything from yakitori to fried snacks. Your guide orders your first round of food and drink and explains how a Japanese food hall works.

Guide's tip: food halls like this are a good way to try several dishes without committing to one restaurant's full menu.
Hidden backstreet izakaya
2Hidden backstreet izakaya

A small spot you would not find on your own

From the food hall we duck into Shibuya's backstreets to a small, local izakaya that your guide knows personally. This is where you'll get a real feel for izakaya culture: shared plates, a second drink, and conversation over a low table or counter.

Dagashi-Bar
3Dagashi-Bar

Retro candy shop by day, bar by night

Our last stop is a themed bar built around dagashi, the cheap, nostalgic snacks Japanese kids grew up buying at corner shops. The walls are lined with retro candy and toys, and your third drink comes with a side of 1980s and 90s Japan nostalgia.

Shibuya Scramble Crossing
4Shibuya Scramble Crossing

A night-time finish at the world's busiest intersection

We end the night with a walk to Shibuya Scramble Crossing, lit up and still busy well after dark. Your guide gets a group photo with the crossing's neon signage behind you before walking you back to the meeting point.

It was great to have a guide who spoke English to take us to experience true Japanese cuisine. Taku was a best guide, highly recommend him for future tours.

Had a great time exploring local izakayas in Shibuya. Was just me and my friend, as no one else had signed up on that night. Guide was amazing explaining the izakaya culture and helping us order. Fantastic experience.

A Must-Do for Foodies "If you want to experience authentic Japanese nightlife, this tour is perfect. The guide took us to hidden gems with amazing food. It's a great way to meet people and enjoy Japan." I'm really glad I came to Japan. Even before I got to the izakaya, I was able to see a variety of Japanese culture and scenery, and I was able to spend a very meaningful time. If I have the opportunity to come again, I would like to apply for this tour again. And I would like to see various sides of Japan again. It was a lot of fun.
