How does booking work — is it instant?

It is not an instant-confirm button. You send a request at the bottom of this page and we reply with a written quote: the final price, exactly what it covers, and the cancellation terms for that specific trip. The booking exists only once you accept that quote. Slower than a Book Now button, but nothing gets sold to you that is not actually available.

Will we be grouped with other travellers?

No. Every tour in these two sections is private: your party only, your own vehicle, your own host. No sharing, no waiting on strangers.

Is there an age limit?

This programme involves alcohol, so 20 and over — that is the legal drinking age in Japan, and the venues check ID, not us. Bring your passport.

Where does pickup and drop-off happen?

Pickup and drop-off at your hotel inside the central area of the city named on the tour, included in the price. Outside that area we can still collect you — the surcharge is written into the quote, never added when you get in the car.

Can the itinerary be changed?

Yes. The hour-by-hour schedule above is the version that works best, not a fixed mould. More driving time, a different meal, an extra night, or dropping a leg — write it in your request; the price moves with it and the change is spelled out in the quote.

What languages does the team speak?

Put the language you want in your request. The quote tells you whether someone who speaks it is free ON YOUR DATE — we do not promise a language and then tell you on the day that nobody is available.

When and how do we pay?

You pay nothing before you have read and accepted the quote. Payment method, payment dates and which part needs a deposit to hold a third-party booking are all written into that quote. Nothing appears afterwards.

How far ahead should we book?

At least 7 days before your date — the request form opens from that day. You get a final itemised quote by email. Earlier is surer: small venues and cars have very few slots a day.

Tokyo has thousands of bars behind unmarked doors on the seventh floor of an office block that will not seat a stranger who walks in. Our night host knows which doors open and calls ahead — so the evening reaches places you would stand outside of on your own. It opens with a booked dinner, runs through a few cocktail rooms, and ends at a table already held for you in a club. We handle the reservations, the car and the talking at the door. Once your deposit is in, we send a list of restaurants, bars and clubs to pick from by taste and by budget — there is no fixed route, because a night that suits one group bores another.

🗓️ How the day runs

18:30
Your night host meets you in the hotel lobby with the car waiting outside. This is where the evening gets its final shape — the shortlist went out beforehand, but changing your mind now is still fine.
19:00
Dinner at the booked restaurant. Two hours, properly seated — eating before drinking is deliberate here, not a formality.
21:00
The first bar, usually a small unmarked cocktail room. Your host introduces you to whoever is behind the counter — in Tokyo, being introduced and walking in cold are two different evenings.
22:15
On to one or two more, each a different thing: one doing classic cocktails, one working through Japanese whisky or seasonal sake.
23:45
To the club, in through the side entrance, at the table already held. Tokyo only fills up around now — arriving earlier means walking into an empty room.
01:00
The car is waiting whenever you want to leave. The Tokyo trains stopped hours ago, which is the part people forget to budget for when they do this alone.
