Night Life
Omoide Yokocho, or Memory Lane, is a cluster of narrow alleys beside Shinjuku Station packed with tiny restaurants and bars, many seating only a handful of guests.
What to expect
Smoke, lanterns, and counters so small that neighbours chat shoulder to shoulder. Trains rumble past overhead.
What to eat
Yakitori and other grilled skewers, motsu, noodle dishes and beer or sake.
Visitor tips
- Come in the early evening for a seat.
- Some bars have a seating charge, so check before ordering.
- Hours vary by shop.
