Buzzing Omoide Yokocho is a must see

Omoide Yokocho, nestled in Shinjuku, Tokyo, hums with an infectious energy. The narrow alleyways are lined with tiny, bustling bars and eateries, where locals and tourists squeeze together, creating a lively, convivial atmosphere. The smell of grilled yakitori fills the air, mingling with laughter and chatter. Neon signs flicker above, casting a nostalgic glow on the scene. Despite its nickname “Piss Alley,” Omoide Yokocho’s charm lies in its vibrant, old-world vibe, offering an authentic taste of Tokyo’s nightlife.

My Recommendations

  • Yakitori Alley: Walk the main alley from both directions. Walk it at least one way without stopping to get a sense of the length and vibe
  • Side Alley: Make sure you go see the alley next to the railway line – it is different to the main alley.
  • People watch: Omoide Yokocho has become Insta-Heaven – watch the future influencers do their thing.
  • Try a bar or restaurant: There’s so many options but i would suggest one of the dimly lit bars with only a few seats
