Omoide Yokocho Tours and Activities

#Shinjuku #Tokyo #Japan #alley The famous piss alley or Omoide Yokocho in Shinjuku, Tokyo. By day it's just another narrow alleyway common in Tokyo, but at night the street turns into a mini nightlife area for the salarymen of Tokyo. With numerous tiny #bar lining up, the nickname comes from the fact in the past so many drunk salarymen doing their "bussiness" there because there's no toilet anywhere in this alleyway. Today, regulation has been set in the area so it is a lot cleaner than before. The alleyway is very narrow and can only fit at maximum 2 people at a time so be mindful of your surrounding when visiting especially when there's many drunk people walking by from the bars. The bars are also very tiny and can only fit less than 10 people at a time. If you are not claustrophobic give them a try, it's a special experience on its own :)

Just outside the west gate of Shinjuku station lies Omoide Yokocho (literally “Memory Lane”), or as it is known among the Tokyo locals, “Piss Alley”. You can get an excellent, reasonably priced meal. It caters to locals and doesn't necessarily welcome tourists. Try it!

Next to the Shinjuku train stations, this small alley is an amazing place for local food and drinks ... and street photography ! #LikeALocal #bvsjapan #TroveOnTuesday

The breakfast was excellent and lovely onsen and sauna facilities. GRE location for teamLABS and hotel is really close to a station that is only a ~10 minute ride to Tōkyō station
