Join this "tachinomi" standing bar tour to explore the western port city of Takamatsu at night with a local guide and get a little tipsy! Tachinomi is a type of Japanese bar where customers drink and eat while standing at a table or counter. Its casual nature and wallet-friendly prices make it perfect for someone who wants to have a quick drink with some light meal in a lively environment.

I'm a kimono dresser and English teacher who is passionately promoting intercultural exchanges here in Kagawa. In recent years, many overseas travelers are visiting Kagawa, and I often hear they say there isn't nearly enough English information on nightlife in Kagawa. That's why I started this drinking tour. Ask me anything and I can provide you with tons of useful info about Kagawa! I’d like to introducing you to the unique charm of Japanese "tachinomi" culture filled with warm and spontaneous encounters with locals.
