🌙 Nightlife
Shinjuku Golden Gai
Tokyo, JapanAbout Shinjuku Golden Gai
Six narrow alleys in Shinjuku packed with around 200 tiny bars, many seating only five to ten people, each with its own theme and regulars. Most charge a cover of roughly ¥500–1,500, sometimes including a drink, and some are members- or regulars-only, so look for signs welcoming visitors. Taking photos inside bars usually isn't allowed.
