2 hours (approximately)
Offered in: English

This private evening tour lets you experience southern Wakayama beyond its famous shrines, pilgrimage routes, hot springs, and coastal scenery.

Choose Shingu, Kii-Katsuura, or Kushimoto depending on where you are staying, then explore two local izakayas or bars selected around your food, drink, and atmosphere preferences.

Unlike a fixed restaurant tour, the evening is shaped around your group. Your guide helps with menus, ordering, and Japanese izakaya customs, making it easier to enjoy small local establishments that may be difficult to navigate independently.

It is a simple way to turn an evening in the Kumano region into a more personal local experience.

    Shingu

    Discover Shingū’s vibrant food culture through an evening bar hopping tour guided by a local expert. This coastal town, long known as the gateway to the sacred Kumano region, offers a warm and authentic nightlife shaped by its community and the bounty of the nearby Kumano Sea. Visit two small local bars or izakaya chosen according to your preferences, and enjoy regional dishes such as fresh seafood, seasonal vegetables, and local sake. Along the way, learn about Japan’s bar-hopping customs, from sharing otoshi appetizers to casual conversations with regulars. With your guide assisting in communication, you’ll experience not just food and drink, but the genuine spirit of Shingū — a culture where everyday dining is an act of connection and hospitality.
