Shimbashi & Ginza Craft Beer Izakaya Tour
Tokyo, Japan
About This Activity
Shimbashi is Tokyo's legendary after-work drinking district where office workers pack into narrow izakayas under the rail tracks each evening. A local guide takes you to three craft beer spots — including a hidden standing bar frequented by railway workers — then walks you into polished Ginza for a final beer at a boutique taproom. Tastings cover 4–6 beers highlighting Tokyo's growing craft scene.
Seasonal note: Year-round; evenings only
