Tips and recommendations by our official guides
Hi! I am Sho. I have been drinking in many places in Tokyo and Ueno is one of my favorite places to drink!
It's a fantastic place to experience the energy of Tokyo at night, with colorful lights, lively vendors, and delicious snacks.
During the day, you can explore Ueno Park, which is one of Tokyo's largest parks.
In this Ueno Bar Hopping tour, we will guide you to our favorite Japanese style bars (Izakaya) and food alleys in Ueno, and let you feel Tokyo's culinary scene as well as the authentic Tokyo nightlife.
Izakayas' can only be found in Japan and are tiny cozy bar / pubs that serve small plates and alcohol drinks that go along with food.
On this tour, there are lots of delicious and authentic local foods you can try, such as Yakitori, kushikatsu (Fried skewers), Fried Tofu, and much more! Try Japanese sake, cold beer or local drinks that you can only taste in Japan along with the delicious dishes!
MagicalTrip have carefully handpicked the best food & drinks combos, enough for a full dinner meal served at each izakaya bar. This is an all-in-one bar tour where food & drinks are included, so you can come to tour empty-handed.
You can select from a variety of over 30 kinds of recommended foods and drinks. You can order the foods you like based on the tour guide's explanation and recommendation in each Izakaya, so don't worry even if you have food allergies or dietary requirements, we cover everything! We offer food & drinks at a special price much cheaper than the actual price!
Of course, you can order additional food and drinks at each bar on your own. The local people are super friendly, especially when they drink at night. Let's have a drink (or a lot of drinks) with them!
Our local tour guide will take you to places you can't find or enjoy by yourself, and make you enjoy the Ueno Nightlife like a local!!
On top of that, this is a small-group food tour, so you can enjoy the time like going out with friends! (Please check our reviews on TripAdvisor!)
Solo travelers, friends, couples, and family, all are welcome!
Join us on this pub crawl adventure! Let's have an awesome experience together in this unique atmosphere without any cultural or language barriers!
