Downtown Yamagata Bar Hopping

Starting from the front of Yamagata Station, your guide will walk you through the buzzing nightlife district and take you to three hand-selected eating and drinking establishments that represent the flavor of Yamagata city after dark. We’ll spend roughly an hour eating and drinking at each spot, so be assured that you’ll be stuffed by the end! From the cuisine to the establishments themselves this tour has been curated with foreign visitors in mind and showcases the best of Yamagata—from local specialties that change with the seasons to delectable hand-made specialty cocktails and locally brewed sake.

From an izakaya atmosphere to a high-end cocktail bar to a homey, traditional hole-in-the-wall, this tour covers a ton of ground and you’ll soon be navigating Japanese nightlife like a pro! Your guide can also instruct you on the nuances of Japanese drinking culture, from how to Kanpai like a local to avoiding minor faux pas sometimes made by foreigners. They will also take care of ordering additional food and drinks for you if needed, as all of these establishments do not speak English, nor include English menus.

Don’t miss out on this truly one-of-a-kind, authentic Yamagata dining experience! If you have any dietary restrictions, please let us know and we will do our best to accommodate you. You will also have a drink menu (non-alcoholic drinks included as well) from which to choose.
