Experience Details

The capital of Miyagi Prefecture, Sendai is a city in the Tohoku region with its own heart and drinking culture. To discover the best of drinking like a local in Sendai, this Sendai Izakaya Bar Hopping Tour is an amazing way to get to know the nightlife of the city while you eat delicious Japanese food! During this local izakaya walking tour, you’ll jump in and explore the backalleys of Bunka Yokocho and Iroha Yokocho, two nostalgic drinking locations in Sendai that will make you feel like you’ve stepped back in time and right into the Showa Era, lined with hundreds of tiny izakayas that only seat about 8 people at a time. During the tour, you’ll visit 3 of these tiny Japanese pubs and bars (on Fridays, Saturdays, Sundays, and Japanese National Holidays, you'll visit 2 instead of 3.) No need to feel intimidated by going out on your own, join this Sendai Izakaya Bar Hopping Tour to have an amazing night out in Sendai with a local guide. Not sure what to order? Your guide can give recommendations, tips, and useful phrases to help you have a great drinking experience in this compact city! During this bar hopping tour, you’ll experience different styles of Japanese izakaya on offer in Sendai. Discover the Tohoku region of Japan from a deeper perspective, and experience Sendai nightlife like a true local. With a drink and new foods to try at each Sendai izakaya, you can become a local izakaya expert! Discover Sendai like a local and jump on a Sendai Izakaya Bar Hopping Tour for a night you’ll never forget. On Fridays, Saturdays, Sundays and Public Holidays, izakaya tend to be very crowded, so you will visit two instead of three during the tour. You will still enjoy a total of 3 drinks and the volume/quality of food will be the same.
