Information | History | View | Sightseeing | Video
Yokochos are one of Tokyo's best kept secrets, back alleys crammed with little bars and eateries serving traditional Japanese fare. Get more out of #Tokyo for less, watch Tokyo Cheapo every week! Subscribe here http://dvr.jp/youtube A great place to relax and meet some locals over a beer, takoyaki or yakitori skewer. There's lots of Yokocho dotted all over Tokyo, each with it's own particular style and atmosphere, mostly down to the neighbourhood itself. You'll typically find all eateries are fairly cheap and almost exclusively Japanese style cusine, like yakitori, yakiniku, grilled fish, and some street food favourites like takoyaki. Nonbei Yokocho in Shibuya, a series of tiny bars sandwiched together just next to the rail tracks - about 2 mins walk from the famous Hachiko meeting spot. Omoide Yokocho in Shinjuku, a busy spot with all kinds of eateries and patrons. Sanchoku Inshokugai in Yurakucho, a down to earth and old fashioned feel tucked away just next to the glitzy and expensive Ginza district. Ebisu Yokocho, has a little more of a trendy crowd. Sankaku chitai in Sangenjaya, a very "local" scene as Sangenjaya is a little bit off the beaten track.

Hi, I know normally bars in Japan charge for appetizers for every person enters the bar, does yokocho bars charge the same or just by dish?

They are very difficult to find for a foreigner. I only visited Ameya-Yokocho, because it's famous.
