Trackside Eats & Bars by Train from Tokyo with Ex-JR Conductor

Ride by train with a former conductor into the local night drinking scene along the JR Chuo Line.

Tonight, the “passenger” is you.

This is not simply about visiting bars.

This is a local night experience that brings you closer to how people in Tokyo move through the city by train at night and casually stop for a drink along the way.

With Samurai Guide Sho, a former JR Chuo Line conductor who worked on trains for 22 years, travel comfortably from Shinjuku Station or Tokyo Station on a JR Chuo Line Green Car (premium seating) and escape beyond the crowded usual sightseeing areas.

The stage is the local nightlife along the JR Chuo Line, a route Samurai Guide Sho watched from the train for 22 years as a conductor. Depending on the flow of the evening, venue availability and guest preferences, the tour flexibly combines carefully selected spots such as:

・Retro alley of small drinking spots ・Small neighborhood izakaya ・Nigiri sushi counter run by skilled chefs ・Japanese craft beer bar
