What Do You Think of Tokyo?: I love the sprawling scale and ever-changing urban landscape, with premium quality and attention to detail.

The Tokyo Nightlife tour is a great way to explore both lively and peaceful areas of Tokyo at night. Start your evening with some Geishas for traditional entertainment and multiple courses of premium Japanese cuisine, followed by some after-hours drinks among the hustle and bustle of the famous Hoppy Street in Asakusa. If you've left room for dessert, an enormous, yet delicious, parfait awaits at the Parfaiteria in Shibuya, just in time for the last train back!

Enjoy a elegant banquet with traditional entertainment

Ichimatsu

This was my first real experience with Geishas. It was surprising to have some Geishas sat with you throughout the whole duration of dinner, waiting on my every sip of beer, keeping the glass filled, the conversation flowing and entertaining with some fun games as the time continued!

Get an authentic taste of the old heart of Tokyo

Hoppy Dori (Hoppy Street)

I loved the view of the bar overlooking Hoppy Street. It felt like the type of place you could spend multiple hours with friends catching up over drinks, watching evening drinkers pass by on the street below. The nostalgic Hoppy beer is fairly weak in taste, but Black Hoppy offers a stronger taste. Personally I prefered to drink the draft beer on offer!

Hit a hot new late-night dessert spot

Parfaiteria beL

The parfait at Parfaiteria beL was exceptionally large by Japanese standards, but very delicious nonetheless. Among the many flavours in a single glass, the crème brûlée touches were most memorable for me. The queue out the door is fully justified for the complete experience of late-night dessert, just make sure you have enough room to eat it all!
