All about the trip

Spend an evening in this small city, an easy stop outside of Tokyo. Our nightlife tour is all about enjoying an evening of food and drinks with a local! You will have a chance to create an original cocktail or mocktail using Japanese spirits inspired by the ingredients of Shizuoka and Gotemba City! Then you will head off to visit local izakaya (pubs) for an evening of hopping and trying local special dishes. Craft beer fans can try some local brews in a unique local bar. All the while we are exploring you can learn about the history and revitalization of this charming town at the base of Mt. Fuji. Gotemba has a lot to offer and you can also add this evening tour to our daytime experience and spend a few days in this off-the-beaten-path location!

Gotemba is a place that celebrates relaxed living, and friendly service. While traveling around Japan this is a great experience to learn more about dining and drinking culture and customs and connect with locals along the way!
