An after-work experience that begins with "Otsukaresama!", a uniquely Japanese phrase used to show appreciation for each other's hard work. A tour where you can experience Hiroshima's nightlife while pretending to be a local office worker.

[Highlights]
Hiroshima boasts the largest entertainment district in the Chugoku region.
Besides popular spots frequented by tourists, there are also many charming establishments beloved by locals and office workers.
This tour features three carefully selected izakayas, bars, and snack bars that a local Hiroshima resident frequents.

◇Bar Hopping
Enjoy bar hopping like a course meal, with drinks and appetizers at the first stop, drinks and a main dish at the second, and okonomiyaki and dessert at the third.

◇Immerse yourself as a Japanese salaryman and fully enjoy Hiroshima's nightlife
Because Japanese people are diligent during work hours, they love "a drink after work"!
Let's enjoy ourselves to the fullest as we hop from the first to the third bar, loosening our ties as we go!
The guide will also explain the origins of Japanese salaryman customs such as bowing and exchanging business cards.
This is a hybrid pub crawl tour where you can experience the fun and deliciousness of Hiroshima's sake and food, and the deep culture of Japan!

◇Communication with locals
Enjoy meals and toasts with everyone while chatting with the staff and customers of the establishments you visit, as well as your guide!
The time you spend in Hiroshima and the encounters you have at the drinking establishments will become unforgettable memories. (Let's exchange business cards!)

◇Gourmet food only available in Hiroshima
Hiroshima boasts delicious local cuisine made with ingredients grown in the rich natural environment of the calm Seto Inland Sea. Locals feel that home-style dishes such as okonomiyaki greatly contributed to Hiroshima's post-war reconstruction.
Vegetarian options can be prepared upon request.
