Arrive in Atami, a historic hot spring resort town on the Izu Peninsula that has long drawn visitors from across Japan. Meet your local guide and step into a side of the city that goes beyond the ryokan and onsen — the lively drinking streets and narrow alleys where locals gather after dark.

Move through up to three different bar zones on foot, each with its own character. At each venue, order drinks and food at your own pace, with your guide on hand to navigate menus, explain the local drinking culture, and help you settle in.

Connect with distinct pockets of Atami’s nightlife scene, from retro alleyway bars to neighborhood izakayas tucked away from the main streets. By the time you reach the final venue, visit three Tabelog-listed spots, taste your way through a cross-section of Atami’s local bar scene, and share a table with the kind of atmosphere that only a walkable, guide-led evening can offer.

Leave with a grounded sense of how locals in this seaside town actually spend a night out.
