Japanese Pub Hopping Tour

Explore Niigata city’s local gems with a fun and knowledgeable guide, who will share all the secret hole-in-the-wall places that only a local would know!

Let’s march through the quaint town of Furumachi, a place where you can get your fill of Japanese food culture. In the beginning of the Showa-period, Furumachi, along with Shin-bashi (Tokyo) and Gion (Kyoto), was named one of the Three Major Flower streets in Japan.

There are many high-class restaurants and easy-going izakayas in the attractive alleys, where you can socialize with locals while enjoying gourmet food. There is no doubt that your trip to Niigata will become a “sake memory”.
