A warm, beginner-friendly bar on the 1st floor of Akarui Hanazono 3rd Street. A friendly master runs the ~7-seat counter. Calm and hideaway-like in character. A genuinely good choice for a first-ever visit to Golden Gai.
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.
