$107

This private evening tour lets you experience southern Wakayama beyond its famous shrines, pilgrimage routes, hot springs, and coastal scenery.

Choose Shingu, Kii-Katsuura, or Kushimoto depending on where you are staying, then explore two local izakayas or bars selected around your food, drink, and atmosphere preferences.

Unlike a fixed restaurant tour, the evening is shaped around your group. Your guide helps with menus, ordering, and Japanese izakaya customs, making it easier to enjoy small local establishments that may be difficult to navigate independently.

It is a simple way to turn an evening in the Kumano region into a more personal local experience.
