Shinjuku Golden Gai
LeisureVisit: ~90 min
Area of Shinjuku made up of six narrow alleys with about two hundred tiny bars, many with room for barely five or ten people. It began in the 1950s on the site of old post-war black-market premises and was a haven for writers, filmmakers and artists. Today it keeps its retro look of wood and neon, with themed bars devoted to music, cinema or literature.
