About this experience

Experience the hidden side of Sapporo nightlife with a local guide as you explore intimate “snack bars” and Japanese unique drinking spots usually hard for tourists to access. Interact with friendly regulars and the welcoming "Mama" behind the counter, offering a one-of-a-kind night that connects you with real local culture beyond typical sightseeing.

Your second stop will be carefully chosen by your guide based on your preferences. Options include retro Showa-style bars, live-band karaoke, LGBTQ+ friendly spots, or classic nightclubs. This flexible, personalized approach gives you a tailor-made nightlife adventure—not just a fixed itinerary.

The tour includes three drinks per person across two bars (six total), offering great value with clear, upfront pricing. Enjoy your night out without worrying about surprise costs or complicated menus.

Detailed itinerary

1

Meet your English-speaking Local Friend & Guide on the 2nd-floor outdoor terrace of Cocono Susukino, the vibrant hub of this entertainment district.

2
Stop 2

Immerse yourself in a quintessential Japanese experience at our first stop: a "snack bar." These intimate, often hidden venues—frequented by local professionals and usually run by a warm and welcoming "Mama"—can be hard to find on your own. Enjoy relaxed conversation, try some karaoke, and connect with the authentic Sapporo community alongside your guide.

Stop 3

For the second stop, your guide will choose a venue based on your preferences from a curated list of hidden gems. Located in Susukino, Hokkaido’s largest and most vibrant nightlife district, these spots are often tucked away in buildings or alleys, making them hard to find without local knowledge. Feel free to share your top three preferences from the following unique places:

1. A place with a retro Showa vibe inspired by Japan’s ’50s–’80s culture to enjoy games and karaoke.
2. A spot where you can enjoy karaoke with live band members backing your singing.
3. A traditional nightclub open for over 50 years, where you can dance to a live band.
4. A place where you can have fun with LGBTQ-friendly mamas (owners), with cosplay and karaoke.
5. A place to unwind with bubbly, plus-size girls who bring joy, humor, and unique comfort.

After the second bar, your guided tour ends—but since you're right in the heart of Susukino, you’re perfectly placed to continue your night out on your own.
