Have you ever heard or been to "Izakaya" or "Cabaret" in Japan? Then Golden-gai is most likely Holy Land of them! Golden-gai is an area which is located in east of Shinjuku, there are more than 200 bars in that neighborhood. Its history has already 50 years and more, started as clack market after second world war. Now, young people come more and more and is getting popular place for visitors, too.

Please feel Japanese drinking culture in Golden-gai and try Sake in any bar there.

    This was the highlight of my trip. Yukihisa and Hiroshi are two awesome people. They took me to a matchbox bar in GoldenGai, and it is an experience I'll never forget. It was just us three and the bar owner, who has owned that bar since the late 1940s! We shared stories and Yukihisa and Hiroshi translated. I will definitely be coming back here again!
