Going out for a bite or a beer in Japan can be perplexing, if not downright a little intimidating. Traditional Japanese izakaya (drinking and eating establishments) can be especially difficult, considering such buildings are often windowless with nothing more than a vertical curtain letting you know they’re in business. But that doesn’t mean you need to resort to fast food or chain restaurants, to eat delicious authentic local food shoulder to shoulder with local folks.

That’s where this tour has got you covered. The Yamagata “Regular” Bar Crawl introduces you to three fantastic places frequented by regulars with an emphasis on delicious local food and friendly local owners..
