A bar on G2-dori with a split personality. Daytime: a bookstand serving drip coffee, shelves filled with books that changed people's lives. Nighttime: a select bar for Japanese spirits and seasonal cocktails like hojicha gin and wild grape liqueur. One space, two distinct experiences.
* Bars located in the same alley row.
Shinjuku Golden Gai is Tokyo's most iconic bar district — 295+ unique bars packed into six narrow alleys in Kabukicho, Shinjuku. A 5-minute walk from Shinjuku Station East Exit, next to Hanazono Shrine. Featured in the Michelin Green Guide, it has been a cultural institution since the 1950s.
