Overview

Welcome to the training grounds of the night.
Tonight’s discipline is “Kichijoji Bar Hopping.”

A modern samurai Sho who has been drinking his way through Kichijoji for many years will skillfully handle “chopsticks” and “sake” instead of a sword, and guide you on a night training journey through Kichijoji.

Through three hidden training grounds carefully selected by the local samurai—places that are difficult for travelers to reach—you will experience the essence of Japan’s nightlife culture and its warmth of human connection.

By the end of the journey, through interactions with the local people who live in Tokyo and with those who joined the tour and trained alongside you, a samurai spirit will surely be ignited in your heart as well.

Reservations accepted until 15:00 on the day!
It’s only 15 minutes from Shinjuku on the JR Chuo Line, and the tour starts in Kichijoji at 18:30.
It finishes around 21:30, which is perfect timing to catch a train back to your hotel in the city center.
