スナックバーちづる

I accompanied the tourists on a “snack tour,” which is attracting the attention of foreign visitors to Japan, and covered the foreigners enjoying the nighttime cultural experience and its potential for the future.

I once had a conversation with a visitor from overseas while I was traveling in Japan.

We communicated using a translation app on our mobile phones.

Although it was difficult, we became friends because we both tried our best to understand each other.

I still can’t speak English, but translation apps have improved so much since then.

That slightly awkward conversation through our phones remains one of my favorite travel memories.

This page has also been translated using a translation tool.

There may be some awkward expressions, but I hope our thoughts and the atmosphere of Chiduru can still be conveyed.

What Is a Japanese Snack Bar?

The term “Japanese snack bar” may sound unfamiliar to many visitors.

In Japan, however, a snack bar is a small place where guests enjoy conversation with the owner and other customers while sharing drinks and karaoke.

It is less about drinking, and more about spending a pleasant evening together.

Experience the Everyday Life of Kagoshima

Guidebooks introduce many wonderful places to visit in Kagoshima.

We believe that experiencing everyday life with local people can become one of the most memorable parts of your journey.

Chiduru is located about 30 minutes by car from Kagoshima Airport, on the edge of a small downtown area in Kirishima City.

Many Japanese snack bars look difficult to enter from the outside.

But we hope you’ll feel comfortable opening the door, just as if you were visiting a friend’s home.

There are some customs and manners unique to Japanese snack bars, but they are not difficult.

If you simply enjoy spending a pleasant evening together with everyone, you’ll be more than welcome.

Although we cannot always communicate perfectly, many overseas business travelers have visited Chiduru and enjoyed their time here.

We look forward to sharing a memorable evening with you beyond language and cultural differences.

Enjoy Kirishima Beyond the Tourist Attractions

Kirishima is famous for its beautiful hot springs.

Luxury resorts are wonderful, but we also hope you’ll discover the charm of ordinary everyday life in Kagoshima.

We also organize small picnics that you would never experience on a typical sightseeing tour.

Kagoshima is famous for its delicious food, but sharing a simple lunch outdoors can also become one of the most unforgettable memories of your trip.

Your stay may only be for a few days.

Even so, we hope that spending time with local people, rather than only visiting famous tourist attractions, will remain in your heart long after your journey has ended.

We hope Chiduru can become one small part of those memories.

Rather than simply drinking or singing karaoke, we hope you’ll enjoy talking with local people and spending a relaxing evening together.

You can also find updates about Chiduru on X (formerly Twitter).

Our daily Timeline on this website is another good way to experience the atmosphere of our shop and our everyday life.

If you visit Kagoshima or Kirishima someday, we would be delighted to welcome you.

We look forward to welcoming you in kimono.
