Highlights

Ready to become an Izakaya Master??

Join us for a night of eating and drinking like a Sendai local down the neon street Kokubuncho!
 
Undiscovered by most visitors to the city, a step down these places are just like discovering local areas. As most only sit around 8-10 customers at a time, it can be a little intimidating to enter on your own, but on this tour, you’ll be joined by a local guide! Let them introduce you to all the best places and help you navigate the language barrier as you eat, drink and chat to the friendly locals.
 
On this tour you’ll enjoy a drink of your choice and a plate of local food at two different styles of izakaya. Discover new favorits and learn to order like a pro!
 
Also this is a vegetarian friendly tour.  Please tell us what  you cannot eat when you book this tour.
