If you’re interested in meeting locals to share a drink when you travel, join our snack bar tour, and an expert guide will introduce you to a carefully selected venue where you can drink. A snack is a small and uniquely Japanese kind of bar where locals go to drink, and enjoy the company of each other. However, most snacks cater mainly to their regular customers, and can be difficult for travelers to find or even gain entrance to if you’re not a fluent local. That’s where this tour comes in. Break down barriers of language and culture, and see a side of the real Japan that most visitors miss. Take a fun quiz to deepen your understanding of Japanese drinking culture. Unlike a typical karaoke, you'll be offered a drink then get you singing along with the whole bar. As well as visiting a snack with 3 drinks you’ll explore the Shimbashi area a little. Stroll and explore a traditional Japanese local landmark to complete your cultural introduction to the world of the snack.
