Joining the bar-hopping tour with Japan Trails turned out to be one of the best nights I had in Japan. It didn’t feel like a typical tourist activity at all.

I didn’t really know what to expect, but the Japan Trails bar-hopping tour totally blew me away. The places we visited were small, cozy spots I would have never found on my own.

I discovered hidden local bars I’d never find on my own!!
