Departing from Shimizu Port, this 4‑hour tour offers a deep look into Japan’s everyday culture.
The first stop is S-Pulse Dream Plaza, where you can browse local seafood products and learn about Japan’s unique canned‑food culture while selecting local specialties.
Next, you’ll head to the local supermarket Shokuhinkan Taiyo, where you can purchase deli foods, sashimi, snacks, and more. Unlike convenience stores, supermarkets reveal Japan’s real food culture—pricing, product variety, and display styles.
The main part of the tour takes place at PUB Tomoe.
You can bring in the foods you purchased and enjoy about 2.5 hours of social time, including two drinks. You’ll learn about snack‑bar culture, chat with the host, and enjoy free-choice karaoke.
You’ll also write an ema inside the bar and make a small prayer for safe travels or good fortune.
The tour concludes with a visit to Nishinomiya Ebisu Shrine, where you can take your ema home as a keepsake of your journey.
