    Unique, fun, off-the-beat and track!

    Brian is an expert on the coolest places around. He spent so much time investigating unique and fun venues with equally great drink choices. I would recommend him in a second to anyone who wants to experience a side of Japan you will not find with any other individual.

    Episu cocktail tour

    Great tour! Fun way to experience night life in Episu. We went to 4 unique bars and got to choose a different Japanese crafted cocktail at each one. They were all wonderful. We were even given a choice of appetizers at one location. Our tour guide Brian was the best! Very knowledgeable, he gave us the whole background on cocktails in Japan and very personable, he made the tour fun. I highly recommend this tour!

    A Unique Way to Experience Ebisu 🍸

    My husband and I joined the hidden cocktail bar tour in Ebisu, and it was such a memorable experience! 🍸✨ We got to visit hidden cocktail bars that we would never have discovered on our own. There were several moments when we thought, “Wait, there’s a bar here?!” and discovering these unexpected places was part of the fun. We learned about the history of Japanese whisky, enjoyed seasonal limited-edition cocktails, and tried cocktails that you can only really experience in Japan. It was much more than just bar hopping — it was a great opportunity to experience Japanese cocktail culture and appreciate the unique attention to detail that Japan is known for. My husband and I had a wonderful time, but I also think this tour would be great for solo travelers. The atmosphere was very welcoming and easygoing. If you want to discover a different side of Ebisu while enjoying amazing cocktails and experiencing a unique part of Japanese culture, I would definitely recommend this tour! 🥃🇯🇵✨

    Cocktail tour off the beaten path

    Absolutely loved this tour. We visited four incredibly cool and unique spots that I would never have found by myself. Brian was brilliant and clearly knew his stuff, both when it came to the history of the area and the bars and cocktails. All four recommendations were excellent. Would definitely recommend this to anyone who loves cocktails and discovering places off the beaten path.

    Give Bryan a raise!!

    My experience was great! My guide Bryan made the whole night a brilliant whirlwind of cocktails, speakeasy’s and history. The world of cocktails is eclectic and expansive but Bryan was definitely up to the task. Having been a bartender himself, he had a great deal of knowledge that was both historical and technical that he dropped very concisely so the experience was still fun. Couldn’t be more impressed!!

    Tokyo Hidden Cocktail Bar Tour (Ebisu): questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Tokyo.

    How much does Tokyo Hidden Cocktail Bar Tour (Ebisu) cost?

    +

    Prices start at $188 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Tokyo usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Tokyo Hidden Cocktail Bar Tour (Ebisu) take?

    +

    Plan for about 3 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Tokyo is not rushed.

    Is Tokyo Hidden Cocktail Bar Tour (Ebisu) worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 68 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 15 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Tokyo, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Tokyo Hidden Cocktail Bar Tour (Ebisu)?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is Tokyo Hidden Cocktail Bar Tour (Ebisu) suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 3-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Tokyo Hidden Cocktail Bar Tour (Ebisu)?

    +

    Around 5 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Tokyo can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Tokyo and add a light layer if any part of the 3-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Tokyo Hidden Cocktail Bar Tour (Ebisu) start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Tokyo within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Tokyo?

    +

    Tokyo is less a city than a stack of neighborhoods with completely different opening hours. A guided food crawl through Shinjuku's Omoide Yokocho gets you past the no-tourist curtains, while the day trips west to Hakone and Fuji need an early start to be worth the fare. Our ranking weighs guide quality heavily here, because in Tokyo the guide is the product. On Outty we rank every Tokyo experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Best of Shinjuku: Izakaya Food Tour (3-4 Stops, 14+ Tastings), Matcha Making Class in Tokyo with Authentic Japanese Sweets Set, Tokyo: Asakusa Senso-ji Temple & Old Town Walking Tour. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Tokyo?

    +

    Late March to May for blossom, October to November for clear Fuji views. Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Tokyo?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.

    What is included in Tokyo Hidden Cocktail Bar Tour (Ebisu)?

    +

    Included: Alcoholic beverages; Dinner; and Snacks. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Where is the meeting point for Tokyo Hidden Cocktail Bar Tour (Ebisu)?

    +

    Meet our guide by the Ebisu Statue right by Ebisu Station's West Exit. Your guide will be holding a "Japan Food Travels" sign or tablet. Hotel pickup is not included, so plan your own transport and arrive 15 minutes early.

    What languages is Tokyo Hidden Cocktail Bar Tour (Ebisu) offered in?

    +

    It runs in English. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.

    Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Tokyo Hidden Cocktail Bar Tour (Ebisu)?

    +

    Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.

    Is Tokyo Hidden Cocktail Bar Tour (Ebisu) wheelchair or stroller accessible?

    +
