There’s also a Habu-shu which is Habu snake liquire, so if you’re brave enough, join your guide for a taste of the unique drinking experience here!

  • Naha - Move from the stall village to the 2nd Bar.
  • Sakurazaka Theatre - Sneak into the deep back alleys Kokusai Street! Taste the one and only original craft beer!

Leave the fist Izakaya behind and head for the back alleys! Unlike the front streets, these are less crowded, so it can be difficult for travellers on their own to find them. The second bar you will see on your way is one where you can taste the original beer they make. Toast your guide in a deep atmosphere with fresh beer, unique to Okinawa and known only to the locals.

  • Naha - Move from the second Bar to the 3rd restaurant
  • Heiwa Dori - Go further inside of the street! Unmatched at first glance, but comfortable. A deep atmosphere and liveliness that can only be felt here.

Is this Japan? Experience the “1000 Bello” experience at izakayas in places so deep you’ll wonder if you’re in Japan at all! Enjoy drinks and food the way the locals are used to drinking, which even Japanese travellers don’t know how to do!

  • Naha - Move from the 3rd restaurant to the 4th restaurant
  • Kokusai-dori - Cheers to drinks, food and dancing!

Finally, go to an izakaya on the main street of Kokusai-dori! Here you can watch a live sanshin (Okinawan three-stringed instrument) performance by locals.

Fantastic, laid back food+drink tour - We had a great time walking around town trying new food and drinks in a very relaxed atmosphere. We ended the evening at a restaurant with great live local music. We definitely got to places we would never have found on our ownso I would highly recommend this tour. I think there is a lot of variety in tours that say "pub crawl" this was very laid back and focussed on food and culture as well as trying local drinks so it fit what we were looking for. The guide was fantastic, friendly, helpful and sent us photos he had taken during the tour.

Amazing Naha local experience - Such great local experience with our kind and knowledgeable guide, Hic! It was my first day in Okinawa, and was able to visit all these cute local spots that I would never know existed if not by this tour. Good drinks, made new friends, and lots of laughters:) Hic even played Sanshin, the Okinawan traditional instrument for us, and it was beautiful. I would definitely recommend this tour to anyone who’s visiting Okinawa first time or not. どもありがとう, Hic!

Go on this tour. - My wife and I were the first people to take this tour and it was awesome! She and I had a great time. Our guide, Hic, was personable and knowledgeable. He shared tons of info about Japanese/Okinawan culture and of course food and drinks. The tour included four bars (3 with light snacks), all a short distance from each other. We had some kinda Habushu snake liquor, awamori, craft beers and sake. One of my friends back home sent me on a mission to find some rare Japanese whiskey and Hic let its detour to a liquor store and actually helped me find it! All the while we talked music, US cartoons, anime, US/ Japanese Culture. The last spot had a traditional performance which was dope. By the end of the tour I asked Hic if there was a 5th bar where would he recommend. We ended up karaoking with him for a few hours. My only advice, which I suggested to Hic, is to use the bathroom after each spot. You'll need it. Tons of fun. Can't recommend it enough. Fun, educational and affordable.

Never happened - Never happened. After we got a dozen people together all signed up for the next night, we all received an email saying the trip was sold out and had been sold out the whole time we are all signing up. Waiting for our refund.
