Bouldering, Sake and Food, Local Gem Hiroshima Evening Tour
Description
If you are staying in Hiroshima and want to enjoy evening activities like the locals, this tour is highly recommended. It is the tour to enjoy bouldering, tachinomi, okonomiyaki, and walking around a local area with a guide. The tour starts at Yokogawa Station, 4 minutes by train from Hiroshima Station. Yokogawa is the district for locals, not for tourists. So, you can feel the different atmosphere from the tourist attractions. The instructor at the bouldering gym speaks English. Beginners, experts and kids can all have fun. Hiroshima is the place where Ginjo Sake was developed. Why don't you try Hiroshima's selected sake? Guests between the ages of 12 and 59 can participate in the tour. For guests under 20 and those who don't drink alcohol, we offer soft drinks. Okonomiyaki is Hiroshima's specialty. We will take you to a retro okonomiyaki restaurant. Your Hiroshima-based guide (a licensed Japanese guide or a trained American guide) will introduce you to various things as you walk.

Itinerary
Our first destination is "pb climbing", a bouldering gym. Enjoy bouldering. There is no rental clothing available, but you do not need to bring special clothing. Please wear clothes that are easy to move in and that you don't mind getting dirty (since you will be using bouldering chalk). Rental shoes are available, but if your shoe size is over 30cm, please wear sneakers. Thin socks are recommended.
Our second destination is "Yamanaka liquor store". The store has a drinking area called "Kakuuchi" in Japanese. Hiroshima is the birthplace of Ginjo sake, which is popular for its fruity and floral aroma. The Yamanaka Sake liquor store is a good place to enjoy Hiroshima's sake in a casual atmosphere. The best sake changes with the seasons. So, the liquor store owner will choose the alcoholic beverages for you. Your guide will provide you with information about sake.
There are two types of okonomiyaki in Japan, Hiroshima style and Osaka style. The characteristic of Hiroshima style is that it is cooked in layers. You can watch, take pictures, and eat authentic okonomiyaki. ※There is a possibility to go to another okonomiyaki shop.
Yokogawa is an area where you can get a glimpse of the daily life of people living in Hiroshima. Enjoy walking around Yokogawa with a guide who knows the area and who lives in Hiroshima, as if you were walking around with a friend. At the end of the tour, you will receive a detailed explanation of the "Kayoko Bus", a symbol of Yokogawa that is cherished by locals.

I realy recommed the tour. You can get to know Hiroshima locals better. You can interact with locals, try local sake and okonomiyaki, and even get a surprise at the end. The guide was friendly and great. Thank you for a great time!
Thank you for the wonderful review. I am very glad that you enjoyed the local activities with a guide. Our office is located near Yokogawa Station. So we introduced you to our favorite facilities. I hope the last surprise is a memorable experience for you.
The guide was personable and was extremely knowledgeable about the city (and climbing!). Every stop was charming, and the drinks and food were the most delicious we’ve had in this city. If you like hidden gems, winning personalities, and climbing, you will like this tour.
Thank you so much for your wonderful review. We are so happy that you enjoyed our tour and that you took your precious time to write it. Your guide, Akie, said that she also had a great time with you, and it is always our pleasure to meet wonderful guests like you.Thank you very much.
It quite nice to get away from the crowds. I was treated to some beer, snacks, sake and okonomiyake. Plus some interesting bits about the area. The gym is quite nice, it's smaller than back home but climbing routes are really interesting. You have to experience it to see why Japan has some of the world's top climbers. I thought I was pretty strong until I came to this place! Also very beginner friendly, I would also recommend if its your first time climbing because they take care of everything.
Thank you for joining our tour and writing your review. We offer this tour because we think it is fun to try a sport, drink, eat and walk in a local area at night in a foreign country. Thank you for mentioning the gym. The owner of the gym must appreciate your review.
