Experience Details

After work, Japanese businesspeople and office workers typically let loose from the diligence and responsibility of the day and enjoy a night out drinking, talking and singing. Typically away from tourist crowds, tucked in the intimate environment of a local snack bar, they enjoy a night of sheer fun, foamy beer and countless laughs. This tour allows you to get a rare glimpse into the nightlife habits of local businesspeople, brushing shoulders with locals and enjoying snacks and drinks.


To fully immerse yourself in this corporate after-hours culture, you'll receive a tie and business cards, two symbols of Japanese businesspeople to embark on your bar hopping experience. You'll learn cultural customs and etiquette, Japanese key phrases like "otsukaresama", bowing, and more. Dive deep into the entertainment district of Nagarekawa, the largest in the region, where you'll enjoy snacks, drinks and food at three different stops and bond with locals.


Try the classic Hiroshima-style okonomiyaki (a savory pancake that's a staple of the region and the city), soak in the unique atmosphere of snack bars, and end the night with a fun karaoke session with the snack bar host and other guests. This bar-hopping tour combines Japanese corporate and drinking cultures to give you an unforgettable night out that is bound to be the highlight of your trip.
