Overview
Ride by train with a former conductor into the local night drinking scene along the JR Chuo Line. Tonight, the “passenger” is you. This is not simply about visiting bars. This is a local night experience that brings you closer to how people in Tokyo move through the city by train at night and casually stop for a drink along the way. With Samurai Guide Sho, a former JR Chuo Line conductor who worked on trains for 22 years, travel comfortably from Shinjuku Station or Tokyo Station on a JR Chuo Line Green Car (premium seating) and escape beyond the crowded usual sightseeing areas. The stage is the local nightlife along the JR Chuo Line, a route Samurai Guide Sho watched from the train for 22 years as a conductor.
