Naha Small Group Bar Hopping at 3 Local Bars

Okinawa's best nights don't happen on the main street.

They happen one floor up, one alley over, behind a door with no English sign.

On this three-hour small-group bar hopping tour, a local guide takes you into three very different corners of Naha's nightlife, all within walking distance of Kokusai-dori.

You start upstairs in a hidden Okinawan izakaya most visitors never find, with a shared plate of island specialities and your first glass of awamori.

Then you step into the senbero alley behind Makishi Public Market, where locals drink standing up.

You finish in the old Sakurazaka quarter, in a small neighbourhood bar where the owner knows every regular by name.

Your guide reads the handwritten menu, orders the good stuff, explains what's in front of you and introduces you to the people drinking next to you.

Groups are capped at eight. Food and drinks at all three bars are included.

Note: Japan's drinking age is 20. Guests aged 13-19 are welcome and are served soft drinks.
