Tour Itinerary (11:00–15:00)

Departing from Shimizu Port, this 4‑hour tour offers a deep look into Japan’s everyday culture. The first stop is S-Pulse Dream Plaza, where you can browse local seafood products and learn about Japan’s unique canned‑food culture while selecting local specialties. Next, you’ll head to the local supermarket Shokuhinkan Taiyo, where you can purchase deli foods, sashimi, snacks, and more. Unlike convenience stores, supermarkets reveal Japan’s real food culture—pricing, product variety, and display styles—making this a valuable and eye‑opening experience for international visitors seeking an authentic view of daily life. The main part of the tour takes place at PUB Tomoe, a Japanese-style snack bar. You can bring in the foods you purchased and enjoy about 2.5 hours of social time, including two drinks. You’ll learn about snack‑bar culture, chat with the host, and enjoy free-choice karaoke—often the highlight of the trip. An English-speaking host is available, so even first‑time visitors can relax and enjoy the experience.
You’ll also write an ema inside the bar and make a small prayer for safe travels or good fortune. The tour concludes with a visit to Nishinomiya Ebisu Shrine, where you can take your ema home as a keepsake of your journey.
This program condenses Shimizu’s local food, culture, and human connection into one special experience that you won’t find anywhere else.
