Embark on a Cultural Adventure with Our Hiroshima Night Tour
Our Hiroshima tour is a delightful blend of cultural exploration and culinary indulgence. We kickstart the experience with a gentle stroll through a local neighborhood, immersing you in the cultural fabric of Hiroshima and whetting your appetite for the culinary adventure ahead.
The journey begins in Hiroshima’s charming covered shopping arcade, a thriving example of traditional shopping amidst the modern wave of malls and online retail. As we meander through this bustling area, we’ll eventually veer into a parallel street, where a more eclectic and atmospheric vibe awaits. Here, fashion takes a quirky turn, and eateries exude a unique charm.
We especially love escorting our guests to a beloved supermarket nestled in this backstreet area. In just a short span, you’ll get acquainted with quintessential Japanese meats and vegetables, unraveling the foundation of Japan’s rich culinary tradition. A fun little insight into distinguishing beer from other beverages is just one of the many enjoyable tidbits awaiting you!
Diving into Hiroshima’s Gastronomic Delights: A Foodie Tour
Having piqued your curiosity and appetite, we’ll wander to our first “tachinomi” (standing bar) of the night. More akin to a tapas bar than a pub, these vibrant social corners offer fresh, scrumptious fare amidst a lively local ambiance. We’ll ensure a hearty sampling of delectable offerings, whether seated or standing.

We staunchly adhere to ethical dining practices, steering clear of endangered species. Should you have any dietary preferences or restrictions – be it vegetarian, vegan, or specific dislikes, a heads-up in advance enables us to tailor the experience to your liking.
Our Hiroshima night tour is meticulously paced, with roughly 1.5 hours of exploration intertwined with an equal duration of hearty dining.
This balanced itinerary ensures a leisurely pace devoid of a rushed eating spree.
Throughout the Hiroshima tour, we’ll grace three distinct eateries, each promising:
(1) A mouthwatering array of dishes;
(2) A complimentary alcoholic or non-alcoholic beverage of your choice; and
(3) A hearty dose of local charm!
While the restaurant lineup might vary based on their operational hours, rest assured, our extensive local know-how ensures a rewarding dining experience under the adept guidance of your local connoisseur.

Itinerary for Our Hiroshima Tours
We’ll spend just a few minutes strolling this covered shopping street before veering off the well-beaten path to explore this area’s side street culture. We’re also excited to take you into a proper supermarket and explain some interesting things about Japanese food shopping and cooking! We’ll spend about 30 minutes when all’s said and done, so that means the food starts at around 7pm.
After the 30-minute stroll around town, we bet you’ll be ready for some food and drink! We’ve got a great place lined up for you. Superb quality with local preparations means great food! Plus, the atmosphere is modern and convivial. We’ll try a few different dishes here (we still have two more restaurants to tackle after this!), and invite you to enjoy a drink of your choice. Perhaps you’d like some guidance on sake (Japanese rice wine) or shochu (a distilled Japanese alcoholic beverage)?
Generally, our second restaurant isn’t too far away from the first. Expect all the same goodness as our first place, but with different styles of Japanese food. As with our first restaurant, we’ll also enjoy about 30 minutes here.
We promise it won’t be too wild, but our explainer on nightlife in a modern Japanese city is sure to entertain. There’s a whole world of bars and other sights to see! Figure about 30 minutes for this.
Even if you’re feeling pretty full, we hope you’ll power through as we enter our third restaurant. Again, you can expect different food and a different vibe. You can plan for about 30 minutes here.
