Enjoy a night to remember in this dinner cruise and barhopping experience!

To start your night off, you will take a tour of a sake brewery. Here, you will learn all about how Japanese sake is made and try sake that was newly made on site.

You will then head to the main event: the Yakabune dinner cruise. Yakatabune are Japanese-style houseboats that have been used as entertainment and pleasure boats since the Heian Period (794-1185). On this particular Yakatabune, you will enjoy delicious Japanese dishes consisting of locally-sourced seafood. For interested guests, we can also provide a Nanako Hacchin banquet, a locally famous course consisting of seven kinds of fish eggs with eight local delicacies. 

After dinner, you will play a number of traditional Japanese drinking games. Your hosts will also provide further entertainment to fit the season, including traditional shamisen players, dancers, and singers. 

Finally, you will head off the boat to go barhopping around Hachinohe's Yokocho district. "Yokocho" literally means sidestreet or alley in Japanese, but the streets of Japan's Yokocho areas are so much more than alleys. They are filled with bars, Izakayas, restaurants, and more, and they are a perfect place to learn about drinking culture in Japan. In this Yokocho experience, you will try some of the drinks and foods distinct to the area and learn a little about the nightlife in Hachinohe.
