“Yokocho” is a place where restaurants come together. The value here is reaffirmed because the Japanese old-fashioned taste can be experienced. Why don't you enjoy Japanese food, drinks, and conversation with local people?

The most common Yokocho is that local small izakayas (Japanese pubs) are lined up where you can try pub crawl.
Day time is usually quiet and not many people around in Yokocho, but once it turns afternoon, there will be super busy!
Each izakaya is pretty small and there are only a few counter seats.
However, you can try unique Japanese foods as well as drinks at each izakaya!

Also, the Yokocho is attractive as a photo spot. If you enter into the red lanterns with the yellow lights in the store, you will feel like you have tripped to a different world. There is no doubt that you will get excited just by walking.
Such Yokocho is famous in Tokyo for "Memories Yokocho" and "Golden Gai" in Shinjuku, "Nonbei Yokocho" in Shibuya, and "Harmonica Yokocho" in Kichijoji.
