🗓️ Sample Itinerary
This is the general route for this tour, but the specific stops are flexible and adjusted to your interests & tastes.
Start at a major beer hall or showroom to taste fresh brews from some of Japan’s most famous producers.
From there, explore a couple of small-batch craft breweries and taprooms tucked into the neighbourhood; the kind of spots serving unique seasonal ales you won’t find at the big beer halls.
Finish the evening on Hoppy Street, Asakusa’s classic outdoor “izakaya street,” for a lively last round in a distinctly retro atmosphere.

Kyoto Guide
“Shaye was awesome! It was so helpful having someone to take us around to different spots in Kyoto. It saved us so much time and allowed us to get more background on the locations. Shaye and I also traded skin care tips and I left Japan with several of her product recommendations.”

“Our Tokyo tour with Leon was absolutely fantastic! His guidance led us through the city’s old and new aspects, imparting valuable skills like purchasing subway tickets and suggesting additional trips. Beyond all this, what we liked most was Leon himself: he’s friendly and really funny, he knows a lot about Japanese culture and traditions.”

Who Is This Tour For?
Our Tokyo Beer Tour suits beer enthusiasts curious about Japan’s craft beer scene as well as casual drinkers who’d enjoy a guided evening through Tokyo’s old downtown neighbourhoods.
What Will You Experience on the Tokyo Beer Tour?
Over 3 hours through Tokyo’s downtown “shitamachi” areas, Asakusa and Oshiage, you’ll move from a famous beer hall or showroom through smaller craft breweries to the retro, open-air energy of Hoppy Street, tasting a mix of big-name Japanese brews and local small-batch ales along the way.
How We Customise Your Private Tokyo Beer Tour
After booking, tell us whether you lean more towards classic Japanese lagers, craft and small-batch beers, or a mix of both, and your guide will shape the stops accordingly.
Useful information includes:
- Beer style preferences (classic lager, craft/small-batch, or both)
- Any breweries or bars you’ve already visited
- Dietary needs, if you’d like food recommendations too
We will use this information to prepare a suitable route. The itinerary remains flexible, and your guide can adjust the pace when practical during the tour.
Meeting Your Local Guide
Your guide will meet you at an agreed point in Asakusa and take you between venues on foot, finishing nearby in Oshiage.
Drinks are paid for as you go at each venue (not included in the tour price), along with transport and any shopping. Please note that Japan’s legal drinking age is 20, so be sure to bring valid photo ID with you on the day.
Experience Tokyo's Beer Scene Your Way
From famous beer halls to hidden microbreweries to the retro charm of Hoppy Street, your guide builds the evening around what you like to drink.
Tell us your preferred date and your beer preferences, and we’ll build an evening designed around you.
