Local Craft Beer Tour by Train from Shinjuku with Ex-JR Conductor

Escape central Tokyo’s crowds by train with a former JR conductor, and discover western Tokyo through local craft beer taprooms that rarely appear on tourist maps. The “passenger” on this journey is you. Samurai Guide Sho served as a JR Chuo Line conductor for 22 years. From Shinjuku, he guides you by JR Chuo Line Green Car (premium seating), making the train ride part of the experience. This is not simply a craft beer crawl. The train ride, changing towns, local taprooms, food found along the way, and each glass of beer are connected into one journey. Choose the beers you want, pay only for what you drink, and enjoy them at your own pace. As you move from town to town by train, the scenery outside the window begins to gently shift. Step off, enter a local taproom, and the flavor changes with the streets, the air, and the people around you. No beer expertise is required here. Just enjoy the rhythm of the Chuo Line, the character of each town, and a local craft beer in your hand.
