Overview

Join Samurai Guide Sho, a former JR Chuo Line train conductor with 22 years of experience, on a journey from Shinjuku aboard the JR Chuo Line’s Green Car (premium seating), visiting multiple distinctive craft beer taprooms across Western Tokyo.

This is not a tour about beer knowledge.
It’s about experiencing Western Tokyo—through the passing scenery of the Chuo Line, the atmosphere of each area, and the craft beer brewed there.

Step off the train, take a sip, and notice the rhythm of the town.
Scenery, flavour, and mood shift quietly with each taproom you visit.

This tour is independently operated and is not affiliated with JR East.

Enjoy freshly brewed local craft beer in the very areas where it is made, and also as you watch the city drift by from the Green Car.

The Green Car becomes a moving vantage point.
Guided by Samurai Guide Sho, a former train conductor, you will experience everyday Tokyo from a seat that feels just a little closer than usual.
