Overview

  • Born in Nagano and rooted in local life, o8Experience invites you to discover the area restaurants, flavours and people we love. Our guides are Nagano natives and locals who are passionate about sharing the place they call home. Join us for a relaxed taste of life here after dark.

    Visit three local food spots for 5+ shared dishes, including yakitori, soba or ramen, and gyoza, with two drinks included. Your guide helps with ordering, explains izakaya customs and opens up conversation with the people you meet, making unfamiliar menus and small local restaurants feel welcoming.

    Between stops, stroll the backstreets and hear stories of everyday Nagano. Enjoy good food and easy conversation at a comfortable pace; non-alcoholic drinks are available. If you would like to continue afterwards, ask your guide for an introduction to a local bar. Any additional food or drinks are at your own expense.

    Please tell us about food allergies or dietary restrictions before booking.
