Partying Like A Local

Homes in Japan are small by western standards. Nationwide, the average living space per person is 1/4 the size of U.S. and Canadian norms. While seeming tiny to North Americans, the wisely organized living space is plentiful.

But smaller houses have limits. Hosting parties and get-togethers at home is a prime example. Hosting more than a couple quickly gets tight. Luckily, a specific class of Japanese restaurant is designed to fill the void.

While restaurants around the world are used to seating larger groups, a particular type of Japanese eatery specifically supports six to a dozen (or more) people in a single setting. Long tables, private rooms, and open spaces with dynamic, movable tables create a comfortable environment for large groups. Welcome to the izakaya, Japan’s party restaurant. These places typically serve food tapas-style, letting everyone share a variety of traditional dishes, while drinking copious amounts of beer, sake, and highballs.

Making an izakaya reservation not only involves the size of the party, but includes the length of their stay. Ninety minutes is common, but three hours or longer is not rare. When people cannot throw a party at home because of space, your neighborhood izakaya stands ready to answer the call. Experience an izakaya yourself. Book your trip with LetsGoToJapanNow.com today.
