Kakegawa Honjo-dori

Fifty meters, twenty bars!

This handy map shows you the friendly proprieters

Pretty much everything is inexpensive, but only in Japanese

Every bar is decorated in its individual style

Part one of my dinner at one of the bars

Part two of my dinner

This bar somehow finds room for a comfy-looking couch

It's surprising and impressive how much they can fit into such small spaces

It's fun to sit outside on a warm evening

It doesn't even take half a minute to walk from one end to the other

I hope the neighbours at the end don't mind a bit of noise

One of the most fun places to hang out of an evening in Kakegawa must be Honjo-dori, a short alley lined with tiny bars, ten on each side. You can get a good range of food and drinks, all reasonably priced, and enjoy an intimate, convivial atmosphere; each place seats no more than about ten people, though on warm summer nights I'm sure there's some overspill. It has to be be a perfect place to go bar-hopping!
