Tucked behind Shinjuku’s neon, Golden Gai is a compact maze of six razor‑thin alleys crammed with over 200 tiny shanty‑style bars and eateries. Pop into intimate, characterful spots for a few drinks, lively conversation with locals, and a taste of Tokyo nightlife that feels delightfully stuck in time.
