◆Niigata – Food & Nightlife

In Niigata City, the Furumachi district is the prefecture's largest nightlife hub, lined with izakayas, bars, and snack lounges. As one of Japan's top sake regions, the variety of local brews is outstanding, best paired with specialties like noppe stew or hegi soba. Around Niigata Station, casual standing bars and taverns make it easy for business travelers and visitors to enjoy bar hopping.

Outside the capital, Nagaoka is another hotspot, known for its lively summer fireworks and izakayas offering local sake with hearty dishes. In Joetsu and Sado, small local pubs focus on fresh seafood, providing a more intimate, port-town atmosphere.

Some places may not speak English, but with a local guide you can relax and enjoy. In certain areas, bars may be limited, so we will check if bar hopping is possible. Please feel free to book.
