Nightlife in Omoide Yokocho
Omoide Yokocho, often referred to as “Memory Lane” or “Piss Alley,” is a narrow alleyway located just northwest of Shinjuku Station. It offers a unique and nostalgic nightlife experience that contrasts with the modern, bustling atmosphere of Shinjuku. Here’s what makes Omoide Yokocho special:
Atmosphere:
The alley is famous for its retro ambiance, with tiny, closely-packed izakayas and food stalls. The area retains a feel of post-war Tokyo, with its narrow pathways, paper lanterns, and smoky, lively atmosphere.
Food:
Yakitori: Many of the small eateries specialize in yakitori (grilled chicken skewers). These are often cooked right in front of you on charcoal grills, adding to the smoky charm of the alley.
Other Dishes: Besides yakitori, you can find places serving ramen, kushiyaki (skewered and grilled meat and vegetables), and various other traditional Japanese snacks.
Drinks:
Most establishments offer a good selection of sake, shochu, beer, and other alcoholic beverages, making it an ideal place for an informal night out with friends or for meeting new people.
Cultural Experience:
Omoide Yokocho is not just about eating and drinking; it’s a cultural experience. The tight quarters and shared seating encourage interaction with other patrons, both local and international. It’s a great spot for those wanting to immerse themselves in a slice of Tokyo’s history and everyday life.
Both Shinjuku 3-Chome and Omoide Yokocho offer distinctive nightlife experiences that reflect different aspects of Tokyo’s vibrant culture. Whether you’re looking to dance the night away, enjoy a quiet drink, or soak up the nostalgic atmosphere of post-war Tokyo, these areas have something to offer.

Does it really look with those colors or is that a filter? looks amazing.. thank you so much for sharing.
Would like to see you visit the beaches sometime if you can. Thanks
Are you using your smartphone to film?
Omoide Yokocho has some really good udon. I went during the day and on the side where the money exchange booth was at. It was shocking to see so many western tourists in one spot. Some of those places didn’t allow filming, so surprised you got to film.
Interesting area. Street small, but lots of good vibs. Thanks.
Nice!!! Love this so much! Thank you for making it!
Japan is being overrun by tourists. Articles in the LA Times have said Mt. Fuji is a real headache right now. A town has put up a screen to block the view of Mt. Fuji and now there are fees go hike up the mountain. Maybe 32 million tourist this year.
