Six alleys, 200-odd bars, each seating 4–10 people. Some themed (jazz, punk, horror, 1980s), some regulars-only, some happily welcoming tourists. Just behind Hanazono Shrine. Cover charges apply at most — so the rule is to pick 2 bars and settle in, not to crawl all 200. If an owner gives you a cold reception, try the next door; plenty of them want your business.

💡Local tips
Ask about the cover charge (usually 500–1,000 yen) before sitting — some charge, some don't.
Pick 2 bars for the night — bar-crawl math doesn't work with covers.
If you get turned away, don't take it personally — just try the next one.
