Begin your tour at the west exit of JR Kawasaki Station. Start by exploring the area that represents the “hidden” face of the city. As you step into this district, you'll feel like you've entered a film set. Narrow alleys wind through the area, illuminated by colourful signs and red lanterns. The enticing aroma of food and the lively chatter of locals fill the air, creating a nostalgic and chaotic atmosphere that will leave you in awe.

Next, cross the station to the bustling east exit, where the real “hashigozake” (bar-hopping) experience begins. Your guide, who knows this area inside out, will take you to three carefully selected, unique establishments, each offering a different atmosphere and experience.

At the first stop, raise a glass to break the ice and relax. At the second stop, savour delicious local dishes that have been loved by the community for years, filling your stomach with authentic flavours. As the night deepens, move to the third stop, where you'll immerse yourself in a different ambiance and experience the city's nightlife more deeply.

As you move from one establishment to another, you'll encounter different atmospheres, flavours, and people. This is the essence of Japan's “hashigozake” culture. This tour offers more than just drinking and dining. It allows you to feel the pulse of the locals, experience the “everyday life” and “true essence” of Kawasaki that you won't find in guidebooks.
