Overview

Step into the real Yokohama nightlife — Noge, a maze of tiny backstreet bars where locals have been drinking for generations. A hidden gem most visitors haven't discovered yet.

I'm Hitomy, your private guide and a former international cabin crew member (Japan & Hong Kong). I speak fluent English and take you into small, welcoming izakayas most visitors would never enter alone.

Over 3 hours we'll hop between a few of my favorite spots — sitting elbow-to-elbow with locals, trying regional drinks and small dishes, and soaking up the mood of old-school Yokohama.

This is a fully private tour for your group only (up to 3 people) — a relaxed, safe way to enjoy Japan's bar culture.

Your set menu is fully included: 5 small plates to share, 4 yakitori skewers, a final rice/ dish and 3 drinks per guest across the 3 stops. Anything extra you order is simply settled in cash at the end.

Looking for a daytime experience too? I also offer private walking tours in central Tokyo.

What's included

  • Bar selection and introductions
  • Private guiding (3 hours)
  • Food at 2 izakaya: 5 small plates to share, plus 4 yakitori skewers and a shime (final rice dish) per person
  • Photo taken for you if you'd like
  • 3 drinks per person, one at each place
  • Fluent English-speaking guide
  • Extra food or drinks beyond the set menu (settled in cash at the end)
  • Transportation to and from the meeting point
