About this experience
Step into the real Yokohama nightlife — Noge, a maze of tiny backstreet bars where locals have been drinking for generations. A hidden gem most visitors haven't discovered yet. I'm Hitomy, your private guide and a former international cabin crew member (Japan & Hong Kong). I speak fluent English and take you into small, welcoming izakayas most visitors would never enter alone. Over 3 hours we'll hop between a few of my favorite spots — sitting elbow-to-elbow with locals, trying regional drinks and small dishes, and soaking up the mood of old-school Yokohama. This is a fully private tour for your group only (up to 3 people) — a relaxed, safe way to enjoy Japan's bar culture. Your set menu is fully included: 5 small plates to share, 4 yakitori skewers, a final rice/ dish and 3 drinks per guest across the 3 stops. Anything extra you order is simply settled in cash at the end. Looking for a daytime experience too? I also offer private walking tours in central Tokyo.

Five Stars
Hitomy is a wonderful host and knowledgeable guide. We had an amazing time visiting places only a local would know. Hitomy was so kind and friendly, and the places she took us to were full of character and charm—and not places we could have found on our own! Would definitely recommend to anyone who is new to Yokohama or wants a unique experience. Really unlike anything you can get in Tokyo.
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for taking your time to write this sweet review! It was my pleasure to introduce my favorite places and I am happy to know you two also enjoyed them. Let's do another around when you are back. See you next time!!

Bar Hopping
My friend and I had unforgettable evening on this tour in Noge. As first-time visitors, we loved exploring this charming neighborhood with our wonderful guide Hitomi. She took us to cozy, authentic izakayas where we enjoyed delicious local dishes along with perfectly paired drinks. The atmosphere was lively yet relaxed and Hitomi's warm personality and fascinating stories made the night truly special. We felt welcomed like locals and discovered places we would never have found on our own. Highly recommended for anyone wanting an authentic taste of Yokohama nightlife!
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for choosing my tour and taking your time to give me review. It was such a pleasure to hang out with you guys in my favorite places. Hope to see you sooooon!

Excellent night full of yummy food, fun drinks and lots of laughts
Our host, Hitomy, was lovely! She looked after our dietary requirements so well and made the evening extra special. We visited 3 bars out of the near 600 in the area, and each one was different. It was a great experience becoming part of the local screen for the evening. You won't be hungry as there is lots of food! Plus, the Highball's and Sake flowed! Very professional but fun night and a highlight of our stay in Yokohama. Highly recommend this tour!
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for choosing my tour and writing the sweetest review. It means a lot to me. I am super happy to know you also enjoyed a night in Noge and thank you for trying everything! Take care and see you next time!

Great local Bar insight of Yokohama
What a great night, so enjoyable, great food, company and lots of laughs. Lots of fun! Would totally recommend this tour of local bars. Hitomy did a wonderful job with our different dietary requirements and the choices of bars were a great mix. It was wonderful to discuss all sorts aspects of the Japanese life while enjoying local food and drinks.
Response from the operator: Thank you very much for taking your time to write this sweet review! I am glad to know you enjoyed a night. It was also great to discuss our cultural difference. Enjoy your rest of your time in Japan and see you next time!!

Why this scores 56
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Yokohama Private Noge Bar Hopping Tour with a Local Guide: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Yokohama.
How much does Yokohama Private Noge Bar Hopping Tour with a Local Guide cost?
+
Prices start at $23000 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Yokohama usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Yokohama Private Noge Bar Hopping Tour with a Local Guide take?
+
Plan for about 3 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Yokohama is not rushed.
Is Yokohama Private Noge Bar Hopping Tour with a Local Guide worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 56 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 4 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Yokohama, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Yokohama Private Noge Bar Hopping Tour with a Local Guide?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Yokohama Private Noge Bar Hopping Tour with a Local Guide suitable for kids and families?
+
The operator sets a minimum age of 20. Older children generally do well here, and families should factor in the 3-hour running time when deciding.
How far in advance should I book Yokohama Private Noge Bar Hopping Tour with a Local Guide?
+
Around 1 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Yokohama can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Yokohama and add a light layer if any part of the 3-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Yokohama Private Noge Bar Hopping Tour with a Local Guide start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Yokohama within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Yokohama?
+
On Outty we rank every Yokohama experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Tokyo in 1 Day from Yokohama: Private Tour, Licensed Guide, Yokohama Ramen Adventure near Tokyo: From Factory to Home Cooking, 【Tokyo】JDM Daikoku PA & Nissan Facility Tour. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Yokohama?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Yokohama?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
