This casual evening tour is perfect for families and those wanting to explore these historical and delicious neighbourhoods. You will experience four food and drink stops with something included for everyone . Start off in a retro “Showa-era” (post-war Japan) restaurant, to try seasonal, regional but most of all tasty, dishes . Next you will try several types of yakitori (charcoal-grilled skewers) in a classic Pontocho eatery. Head on to a traditional Noodle shop with decades of history, for handmade noodle dishes.
