Join Samurai Guide Sho, a seasoned former JR Chuo Line train conductor with 22 years of expertise, on an exciting journey from Shinjuku aboard the JR Chuo Line’s Green Car (premium seating). This adventure takes you to various unique craft beer taprooms throughout Western Tokyo.

This tour is not focused on beer knowledge. Instead, it offers an immersive experience of Western Tokyo—through the scenic views from the Chuo Line, the unique ambiance of each neighborhood, and the locally brewed craft beer.

Step off the train, take a sip, and feel the town’s rhythm. The scenery, flavors, and atmosphere subtly change with each taproom you explore.

This tour is independently operated and has no affiliation with JR East.

Savor freshly brewed local craft beer in the neighborhoods where it originates, and enjoy the cityscape from the comfort of the Green Car.

The Green Car serves as a moving observation deck. With guidance from Samurai Guide Sho, a former train conductor, you will experience the everyday life of Tokyo from a seat that offers a slightly closer perspective than usual.
