Shinjuku Golden Gai

Tokyo

Night life in Golden Gai alley, Shinjuku, Tokyo, Japan
Hair of the Dogs is an amazing little punk rock bar in Golden Gai. Super nice and friendly owner and bartender who speak English and encourage you to choose music. Golden Gai is a network of around 200 teeny-tiny bars (each sits about 8 people) tucked into a maze of about six thin alleys.
A network of alleyways of small bars and eateries serving traditional snacks.
Lots of tiny micro-bars, some with only 4 or 5 places ! #bvsjapan #TroveOnTuesday #LikeALocal
Tradition tiny ramen restaurant. They only serve ramen with dry sardines - a bit hard to find. Look up for the red sign and the queue in the side narrow alley

9/10 Wonderful! (4,787 reviews)
The rooms are very small and there is not much room to move around. The Godzilla floor is very much a gimmick - slightly Godzilla themed but nothing else that makes it special. Would not recommend when there are much better hotels to stay at in Tokyo for that price.

Clean and spacious room and very friendly staff. I accidentally left some stuff behind and they kept my stuff for me. After calling them first to confirm, I was able to stop by a few days later to pick it up. I really appreciate the service and extra care. The hotel is away from the touristy spots. ...
