Shinjuku eats in alleys. Omoide Yokocho, by the west exit, is a smoky strip of yakitori counters with room for six or eight, and the food tours here hop between places like that, where English menus are rare and pointing works fine. Go hungry; four stops add up.
Hungry for an authentic taste of Tokyo's vibrant food culture? Explore 13 Japanese dishes across 4 local eateries on the Shinjuku Food Tour, led by professional guides.
“Get to see all the places I wouldn’t find on my own and good company! Our guide was knowledgable too.”
