Overview

Discover two different sides of Kumamoto's nightlife without being tied to a fixed restaurant route. Choose the lively downtown area around Shimotori and Shinshigai for an energetic evening in the heart of the city, or explore Kaminoura for a quieter atmosphere among smaller local restaurants and bars. At the start of the tour, tell your private guide what you like to eat, drink, and experience. Your guide will then select two suitable local izakayas or bars based on your preferences, opening hours, and availability. Depending on your tastes and the venues selected, you may have the chance to try Kumamoto specialties such as basashi, karashi renkon, local seafood, or shochu alongside other Japanese izakaya favorites. A total of ¥3,000 per guest for food and drinks is included, with ¥1,500 available at each stop. Your guide also helps with menus, ordering, and local izakaya customs, making it easier to enjoy places that can be difficult to navigate independently.
