Evening Foodie Walk through Nagasaki's Backstreets
Description
The best evening foodie tour in Nagasaki (if we say so ourselves!). Far from just a night out, this tour takes you on a journey through three different styles of 'izakaya' (Japanese bars) - each with its own character and atmosphere. At every stop, you’ll enjoy a drink, with the first two stops also including delicious dishes or snacks. To make the experience even more authentic, you’ll get to try a unique, quirky payment method just for drinking that originated here in Kyushu - a tradition still loved by locals today. By combining food, drinks and culture, this tour offers a deeper dive into Nagasaki’s vibrant nightlife than a regular pub/bar crawl would.

Meganebashi (Spectacles Bridge) is a beautiful stone arch bridge built in 1839 over the Nakashima River in Nagasaki. Its twin arches and their reflection in the water create the shape of a pair of eyeglasses, giving the bridge its name. It is the oldest stone arch bridge in Japan and a beloved historical landmark, perfect for photos and a peaceful riverside walk.
Hamanomachi Arcade is Nagasaki’s largest shopping street, a long covered arcade lined with fashion boutiques, souvenir shops, cafés, and restaurants. It’s a lively place to shop, try local foods, and enjoy a relaxed stroll protected from the weather.
Shianbashi Yokocho is a lively nightlife district in Nagasaki, filled with small bars, izakayas, and local restaurants. Its nostalgic lantern-lit alleys offer an authentic taste of Nagasaki’s food and drinking culture, perfect for an evening stroll or bar hopping.

We really enjoyed the first stop - an authentic itsakaya. The second stop was nothing exciting. The third stop was supposed to be for drinking but we requested desert instead. Given the hefty price we paid for this tour, we got far less food & beverage than we have ever gotten anywhere in the world.
