Fun drinks and food - What a fun time! First bar was my favorite - it was in an old building and we had delicious kushikatsu. I got umeshu twice, and loved it! Fair warning, one of the bars did have a number of smokers.

Not worth the money at all. - Was expecting something different, we only had 3 destinations, two were small restaurants with no option to buy additional drinks. This was not worth the money at all and you'd be better off just exploring the area on your own. I can't fault the guide who did his best, the destinations and tour content were very poor though.
