Arrive in Hakuba, a mountain town in Nagano Prefecture known for its alpine activity and outdoor culture. Meet your guide at the starting point and set the tone for the night, orienting yourself to the area and what lies ahead across the three stops.
From the first venue, move through the walkable bar district with your guide, stepping into each spot, ordering drinks, and settling into the rhythm of the evening. The pacing is relaxed, giving you time to drink, eat, and talk before moving on.
Each venue offers a different atmosphere within Hakuba’s compact bar scene, and your guide provides context about each place as you go — from what to order to how locals typically spend a night out here.
By the final stop, move through three distinct corners of Hakuba’s after-dark scene, each one chosen for its local character and accessibility. Close out the night having drunk and eaten your way through a cross-section of the area’s bar culture, guided by someone who knows it well.
