About this experience
200+ reviews on Airbnb experiences. Now on viator!
There is a 50% discount for *each* guest for bookings of 2 guests or more, effectively making this experience half the listed price
Visit 4 to 5 uniquely Japanese DJ Bars renowned for their hifi sound systems, music selection, and cool crowds at the height of the night.
This is the only experience that will take you through shibuya nightlife at its best - past 11pm all the way up until the first train at 5am, and well past that for afterhours! Some guests stay until the end, some take a taxi or walk to their place of stay around 2-3AM.
My strengths are small, harder to find venues with an easy going vibe. Unless requested, we will not be visiting las vegas style clubs with EDM / bottle service etc.
Some venues do not see many foreigners, but have no worries, Im fluent in Japanese and English and its my pleasure introducing you to the locals. Lets learn how to introduce yourself in japanese, and go from there!
