Trackside Eats & Bars by Train from Shinjuku with Ex-JR Conductor

After guiding passengers for 22 years as a conductor on the JR Chuo Line, Samurai Guide Sho weaves the train journey, neighborhoods along the line, local dishes, and drinks at neighborhood bars into one private evening tour. Step off the train and enter the after-dark world of people who live there, a side of Tokyo most visitors rarely see. Tonight, you are the “passenger.” Travel comfortably from Shinjuku or Tokyo Station aboard the JR Chuo Line Green Car (premium seating) and head into neighborhoods where Tokyo locals spend their evenings. When the train doors open, everyday Tokyo comes alive. This is more than a food-and-bar crawl. Travel between neighborhoods by train like a Tokyo local, enjoying local dishes and a casual drink along the way. Following the flow of the evening, visit several carefully selected spots and enjoy the distinct atmosphere, dishes, and drinks of each place. What opens up before you is a Tokyo night shaped not for tourists, but by everyday life.
