Shinjuku Bar Hopping Tour in Tokyo (2026) | Compare 57+ Tours

Q: Do I need to bring cash for the Shinjuku bar hopping tour?

Yes, bring cash. Many small bars in Golden Gai and Omoide Yokocho do not accept credit cards or IC cards.

Q: Is there a cover charge (Otoshi) at the bars we visit?

Yes, most Japanese bars charge a small 'Otoshi' fee, which is a mandatory seating charge that includes a tiny appetizer.

Q: What is the dress code for bar hopping in Shinjuku?

Smart casual is best. Avoid flip-flops or overly revealing clothing to ensure entry into more upscale or traditional spots.

Q: Can I join a tour if I have dietary restrictions like being vegetarian?

Yes, but inform your guide in advance. While Shinjuku has options, many izakayas focus heavily on meat and seafood.

Q: How much should I tip the bartenders or guides?

Tipping is not practiced in Japan. The service charge is included in your bill, and extra cash is often seen as confusing.

Q: What happens if I want to stay longer at a specific bar?

Tours are scheduled, but you can usually stay behind at your own expense. Just check with your guide regarding logistics.
