Taking a stroll through the narrow lane of Shibuya Nonbei Yokocho is enough to give you a glimpse of old Japan. It is home to a number of small restaurants and bars, but instead of neon lights that dominate the city, its lanes are lit with old lanterns. Even though many places have changed dramatically over the decades, this lantern-lit alley has maintained its rustic charm. Visit Shibuya Nonbei Yokocho in the evening and you can easily drink the night away at one of the bars here.
