  • Tokyo Japan is full of secrets and surprises at every corner. In this video I will take you on a journey to 4 of my favourite hidden bars / speakeasys across west Tokyo (Ebisu & Shinjuku). If you are living or traveling in Tokyo, this can be a perfect off the beaten path adventure, even on a raining day!
    Key Moments:
    00:00 Introduction
    00:33 Jeremiah (Speakeasy behind a picture frame)
    01:52 Janai coffee (Speakeasy disguised as a coffee shop)
    03:02 A10 (Hidden bar pretending to be storage lockers)
    03:33 Bin (Hidden bar in a back ally no one thought to go)
    04:45 Extro - Thank you for watching
    Here are the bars featured in the video:
    Jeremiah (Shinjuku)

    very cool! love the secret bars in tokyo but i do prefer the ones i used to go to in sancha - most are ¥1000 for the first drink and ¥700 for all drinks after that. great music and interesting/lively crowd too!

    Went to Janai coffe last year, and it was wonderful! They're drinks were such an experience and so good. The staff there were so wonderful as well! I loved the name of the place too, so funny! Literally "Not Coffee", but posed as a coffee shop :) P.S. - They do serve coffee too and it was great to be able to get one to go at the end of the night!

    All the bars look really cool, especially the Bin bar. But as a lowly English teacher with three kids in Hokkaido, 6000 yen for three drinks is really steep. I'd hope the cocktails are absolutely amazing!

    • @Nihonhack
      @Nihonhack  ปีที่แล้ว

      It is steep i admit even for tokyo dwellers. I am making part 2 of this video, and was more shocked by some of the prices.

    5000 yen for allegedly the best cocktails in town (3x) is a complete steal, especially smack in the middle of Tokyo! Is it _that_ cheap to drink in Japan?

    • @Nihonhack
      @Nihonhack  ปีที่แล้ว

      This is actually considered expensive in Tokyo! Normal drinks are cheaper but I would not consider those “real” cocktails - it’s usually not very strong

    Hi, Such a great inspiring video. Living in US for more than 2 decades (although I'm Japanese but have very limited knowledge of bars in Japan), I want to try visiting these bar this month. By the way, is it really easy to walk-in to these bars? I mean, do they accept first-time customers? Just curious. Anyway, thanks for lovely info!

    • @Nihonhack
      @Nihonhack  7 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Thanks for the lovely comment! Some of the bars might require a reservation - Jianai coffee for instance needs reservations online. As for other bars, first timer is totally fine! They are welcoming!

    I remember when I was in Tokyo they had a coffee bar and the girls dressed up like school girls...and they pretended you were bad so they had to discipline you and they would get a ruler out and spank you. That by far beats any starbucks.

    Be mindful of the rules of the bar, spoken and unspoken. Especially if you're a tourist. This is ok but I recommend to be able to speak some Japanese. Many of these bars don't have anyone speaking English. Ebisu and Shinjuku are typical foreigner hangouts. There are many other areas to try so explore a bit more 😉

    Your are on the right track. Your video is professional looking, but you need a little more pizaaz when introducing the bars. For instance, the 3rd bar behind the lockers, we didn't even get to 10 seconds of footage. I'd also recommend more energy when introducing the spots.

    • @Nihonhack
      @Nihonhack  ปีที่แล้ว

      Thank you for the feedback! Yes i am aware of the short coming of the 3rd bar because it was filmed on a separate day with iphone. Will try to be better and more consistent with part 2! We are in planning and will publish a part 2 soon! Stay tuned!
