Miroku Yokocho

This is like a Yatai experience. I really enjoy it. Recommand to come and experience.

Looked nice but most stalls had not yet opened in the early afternoon. It was far away from the express train station and 10 minutes walk from the nearest train station. Needed to spend a night nearby to enjoy the atmosphere if by public transports.

Not worth a visit at all unless you are with Japanese friends who can get you into these places. Most of the restaurants in the area are really small, and will get packed out immediately with regular customers who the owners all give priority to. Most of them allow smoking as well, which if you're a non-smoker is very unpleasant. The three or four places that clearly had seats available all rejected us, saying that they were already reserved. I'm pretty sure you can't make reservations at these locations, so I doubt this was the case. I think they just weren't interested in serving foreigners at all, and this was the easiest way to reject us without saying so. The area is kind of sold as a fun bar-hopping spot, but in reality you'll be lucky to get into any single place if you're a foreigner. Don't bother.

Atmosphere varies from stall to stall, the type of drinking place where the owner will talk to their customers

A lot of food stands. Some stands were fully booked, surprisingly.

I had a great time here jumping around from one restaurant / bar to the next! Everyone was so welcoming and kind. I hope to go back and spend more time there one day!

Fun place to drink

Cool little spot, opens up at 5:30 typically
