The tour begins at JR Shinjuku Station. Samurai Guide Sho, a former JR Chuo Line conductor who worked on trains for about 22 years until March 31, 2026, will guide you smoothly through the complex station and assist with purchasing Green Car tickets. The journey begins before you even arrive at the first bar. You will board the JR Chuo Line Green Car (premium seating) and travel west toward Kichijoji. The evening train ride itself is an important part of the experience. As the scenery gradually changes outside the window, the journey builds anticipation for the Chuo Line night ahead.

1st Stop: Harmonica Yokocho The evening begins in nostalgic Harmonica Yokocho, the gateway into Kichijoji’s night. At one of the most distinctive spots in the alley, you begin the evening with local food and drinks while easing into the atmosphere of Kichijoji. With reserved seating, you can enjoy the yokocho atmosphere at a comfortable pace.

2nd Stop: Craft Beer Rather than ending in Harmonica Yokocho, the tour continues on foot through the neighborhood to a craft beer spot outside the alley. Leaving Harmonica Yokocho and walking through Kichijoji at night is itself an important part of the experience. Here, you enjoy distinctive Japanese craft beer with food while experiencing Kichijoji’s night not as a single place, but across the neighborhood. One of the charms of this tour is discovering a different side of Kichijoji beyond the yokocho itself.

3rd Stop: Sushi The evening ends with sushi prepared by a skilled sushi chef. Paired with a drink that suits the moment, this final stop lets you close the night at a calm and relaxed pace. Rather than ending as a simple bar crawl, the tour finishes with a quiet and satisfying final stop.

End of the Tour After experiencing Kichijoji’s night beyond Harmonica Yokocho and across the neighborhood, the tour ends at Kichijoji Station. Rather than simply feeling like you visited a sightseeing spot, you leave with the sense of having stepped into the city’s local night.
