A 2nd floor bar on Maneki-dori with tatami loft seating and a clean Western-style toilet — rare features in Golden Gai. Bright and approachable, it draws a wide crowd from local regulars to international tourists. A great first stop for Golden Gai newcomers.
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.
