Noge After Dark

Yokohama's nostalgic Noge district — standing bars, yakitori counters, jazz cafés and regulars who remember my face. Three stops across the evening — all food and drinks included.

Time lived between countries — America, Hong Kong, Indonesia — taught me that home is a thing you notice only after you've been away.

I studied horticulture at Chiba University, flew with airlines in Japan and Hong Kong, and spent twenty years dancing — which taught me to read a room. These tours are simply how I'd show a friend around Tokyo: the places everyone knows, the ones they don't, and the ones I keep going back to. It's not a route. It's a conversation, held in the places I love most, at the speed of a good afternoon.

All tours are conducted in English. I'm a fluent English speaker and have guided guests from across the world — please feel free to ask questions, go off-script, and chat along the way.

Tokyo day tour — Private, up to 5 guests.

Noge After Dark — Private, up to 3 guests.

Tokyo day tour — We'll agree on a date and start time that suit your trip.

Noge After Dark — Monday to Thursday evenings only, starting at 6:30pm and running about three hours. Noge fills up at weekends, so I keep this one to weeknights — the counters are calmer, and the regulars are there.

Tokyo day tour — Guide fee and itinerary planning. Guests' transportation, entrance fees, and meals are paid separately on the day.

Noge After Dark — All food and drinks are included — a set menu across the evening (small plates to share, yakitori, a final dish, and 3 drinks each). Anything you order beyond the set is settled in cash at the end. Transportation is paid separately.

Tokyo day tour — Absolutely — that's the point. Before the tour I'll ask about your interests, pace, and must-sees. The itinerary is shaped around you, not the other way around.

Noge After Dark — This one follows my recommendations — the spots I know, the counters I keep going back to. Trust me on this one.

Tokyo day tour — I'll meet you at your hotel lobby, or wherever is most convenient for you. We'll confirm the exact meeting point after booking.

Noge After Dark — We meet at JR Sakuragicho Station. Easy to reach from central Tokyo by train.

Cancellation terms follow the policy of the platform you book through — Viator, Airbnb Experiences, or GetYourGuide. Full details are shown at checkout before you confirm.

It felt like exploring Tokyo with an old friend — great conversation, thoughtful recommendations, and places we'd have never found on our own.
