The tour will begin at Tatemachi Pocket Park. https://maps.app.goo.gl/GE1fLdtmo3AHbmgMA (It’s next to the Kakunodate Post Office.) We will meet with the guide at 6 PM, and after explaining the tour itinerary, we will head to the first izakaya (Japanese pub).
An izakaya is a Japanese-style dining establishment where you can enjoy a variety of food along with alcoholic beverages. This tour takes you to two izakayas, tailored to your mood and what you’re craving. Our expert guide will provide a clear explanation of Akita’s izakaya culture and etiquette. Furthermore, we’ll select must-try local sake and dishes from a professional perspective. You can choose from a variety of genres, including yakiniku (Japanese BBQ), typical izakayas, restaurants offering creative dishes using local ingredients, and fresh sushi. We can also accommodate allergies and dietary restrictions. If you inform us in advance when making your reservation, we will adjust the menu to suit your allergies and dietary preferences, so you can enjoy your trip with peace of mind.
If you want to enjoy Kakunodate’s nightlife to the fullest like a local, a visit to a “snack bar” (or your favorite bar) is a must. A snack bar is a small, cozy bar run by a famous “mama-san” (a friendly, friendly bartender). Mama-san loves chatting with customers and singing karaoke, and will warmly welcome you. Enjoying all-you-can-drink alcohol while singing and chatting with Mama-san is sure to make for the best night in Kakunodate!
