While Shibuya and Shinjuku are the peak representatives of Tokyo city life, slightly off the main streets you can find a whole new world where the locals like to visit. Enjoy a local drinking experience at three tachinomi bars in these two cities. Tachinomi is a more traditional style of bar unique to Japan where guests order and drink standing side by side at a counter. These restaurants are usually small and comfortable while giving a feel of Japanese culture. Enjoy your drinks while experiencing and learning about the local nightlife that usually only exists outside the field of vision of tourists.
