Hoppy Street

Overview

Located in Asakusa’s “Rokku” entertainment district, Hoppy Street is a short, 100-meter alley lined with old-school izakayas (Japanese pubs) that date back to the post-war era. Known for its retro Showa vibe, the street is famous for local bar food like grilled skewers, beef stew, and the iconic Hoppy drink (a beer-flavored low-alcohol mixer served with shochu). Many of the eateries open from noon, offering visitors a chance to enjoy a true local drinking experience in a lively, open-air setting. It’s a hidden gem for tourists seeking authentic Japanese nightlife culture.
