Speakeasies then a club: a Tokyo night with your own host
from¥100,000
Request a quoteTokyo 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.
What's included
- A private night host with you for the whole evening
- Reservations at the restaurant, the bars and the club — including places that will not seat a walk-in
- Club entry without the queue, at a table held for you
- A private car between every stop, and home again at the end
- A shortlist of venues matched to your taste, sent once the deposit is in
Not included
- Dinner, drinks and the club cover charge are NOT in the tour price. The tour price is the host, the bookings and the car. Depending on the venues you pick, expect roughly ¥15,000–40,000 more per person across the evening — we give you that estimate BEFORE you commit, not when the bill lands.
- Anything you carry on to after the tour ends
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.
What moves the price
- How many of you
- Which tier of restaurant and club you pick
- Weeknight or weekend
- Whether you want a club table on a guest-DJ night
💴 This is an opening figure for a small group. The final price depends on the date, the party size and the supplier — we ask each of them and come back with a quote that itemises every line.
Conditions to know first
- Everyone must be 20 or older, the legal drinking age in Japan. Clubs do check, so bring your passport.
- Non-drinkers come along and get into every stop — Tokyo bars make serious non-alcoholic drinks, not a soft drink out of politeness.
- Dress smart: Tokyo's better bars and clubs turn people away at the door for shorts, sandals or vests.
- Tattoos are fine at most nightlife venues. Where a particular place has a rule we tell you beforehand rather than let you be stopped at the door.
- Book 72 hours ahead. Friday and Saturday need much longer — club tables on those nights go a week out.
- • 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?
- The earlier the surer. Helicopters, ryokan rooms, supercars and tables at small restaurants all have very few slots a day — money does not conjure one up. Ask anyway if your dates are close: if it is open we will take it, and if it is not we will say so plainly.
Cancellation and date changes
The cancellation terms for your trip are written into your quote, and you read them BEFORE you pay anything.
We do not post one blanket rule like "cancel X days ahead for Y% back" across this section, because every trip holds different bookings: an aircraft charter, a ryokan room, a supercar, a table with a handful of seats. Each supplier has its own terms and most are paid up front. One shared number reads tidily and would be the wrong number on most trips.
The rule we hold to: anything not yet paid out to a supplier can be cancelled, and anything already paid that the supplier will not refund we call non-refundable out loud — at quote time, not at the moment you ask to cancel. If you want a different date, ask before cancelling: moving a booking usually costs far less than dropping it.
