Iroha Yokocho is known as a spot where you can enjoy bar hopping, with a multitude of small, unique bars and izakayas lined up along the alley. This alley, which has been around since the post-war era, is loved for its retro atmosphere and serves as a place where locals and tourists can mingle.

Point
- Only cash is accepted in many establishments in Iroha Yokocho. Since credit cards and electronic payments are often not accepted, it is advisable to have enough cash on hand. Iroha Yokocho has many small establishments, so it becomes particularly crowded at night and on weekends. If a place is full, we recommend waiting for a while or trying another establishment. Additionally, English may not be spoken in many of the establishments, so we recommend joining a guided tour for foreign visitors.
