If you want to enjoy Nagasaki’s nightlife gourmet scene, head to a Japanese “Yokocho” alley!

About 2 minutes on foot from Hamamachi Arcade Tram Stop

Opened in 2025 in Tsukimachi, central Nagasaki City, Tsukimachi Nagasaki Yokocho brings together a wide variety of eateries on one floor. You can enjoy Nagasaki-born specialties such as “Turkish Rice”: a hearty plate combining pilaf, Neapolitan pasta, and tonkatsu, as well as champion,” a noodle dish in which ingredients and thick, specially made noodles are simmered together in a rich pork- and chicken-based broth. In addition, you’ll find ramen, seafood rice bowls, and many other genres, all in one place, along with locally produced sake. It’s the perfect spot for “hashigo-zake,” a Japanese custom of hopping from one bar to another rooted in “izakaya culture” originating in the Edo period. Some of the original market shops continue to operate here, offering a glimpse into the area’s everyday food culture. After sunset, when lanterns glow and Japanese umbrellas and bamboo decorations adorn the space, the nostalgic atmosphere makes it an ideal photo spot.

 About 1 minute on foot from Shianbashi Tram Stop

Shianbashi is one of the liveliest entertainment districts in Nagasaki Prefecture. Just off the main street where trams run, you’ll find Shianbashi Yokocho tucked away in a narrow alley. This charming yokocho gathers more than 60 diverse restaurants and bars, including yakitori, gyoza, Chinese cuisine, and other specialty shops. From Japanese, Western, and Chinese restaurants to cozy small eateries, lively standing bars, and renowned local cuisine establishments, a variety of flavors and atmospheres are packed into this compact space. With lantern-lit streets and the warmth of friendly locals, a uniquely special experience awaits you here.
