Located in the corner pocket of the Kabukicho area of Shinjuku, Golden Gai is a must see for any tourist, even if you don't venture into one of the 200+ swanky little bars that make the area so unique. Each tiny little bar lined up in Golden Gai's narrow alleyway streets varies in its theme and design, and most can only seat a few people at a time, but interesting characters always run the cozy little bars and offer a large range of different Japanese alcoholic beverages; with Japanese whiskey being a tourist favorite.
