Shibuya Nonbei Yokocho

A Retro Showa Era Bar Area Near Shibuya Station

4.03 4

Last update :

Just under 40 small but cozy izakaya are all lined up here along the rails near Shibuya Station.
Here you’ll find a variety of restaurants, from Japanese home and country-style cooking to wine bars and bistros.
Hours vary by store, but typically they are open from 6:00pm until midnight. Some open as early as 4:00pm, and some stay open past midnight.
Each restaurant has on average between 6 to 10 seats (some also have a 2nd floor).

Highlights

  • Walking through the narrow alleys lined with entryway curtains and signboards feels like you’ve been taken back to a retro time of Japan.
  • Enjoy an atmosphere where it feels like you can sit down for a drink with the unique owners and the other customers.
  • Try things you can’t find elsewhere, like unique sake and original dishes.
  • Some shops and restaurants are comfortable even for lone women to stop by.
  • Enjoy some home cooking from a restaurant proprietress, then sip on a drink at a bar.

    Seeing the noren at the entrance and the tiny shops with just 5 or 6 seats, plus the super friendly owners greeting you—it's just like scenes from Japanese dramas. Now I can experience it myself, and it's honestly so exciting!

  • 米義凱

    This street has a really retro vibe. If you enjoy having a drink, you'll love it here.

  • Wo Plum99

    There are izakayas and yakiniku places selling oden here. Each spot is small and cozy, with limited seating, but every place was packed and the atmosphere was lively.

  • 吳彩霞

    This place has a real early Showa-era vibe. It feels super down-to-earth and the prices are really reasonable.
