English BAR THE KING — Restaurant in Yugawara

The King – Yugawara This cozy little bar feels like a Japanese izakaya, but with a true English pub spirit. The shelves are packed with Irish, Scotch, and Japanese whiskies — and the highlight: a perfectly poured Guinness on tap.

The owner, a kind Japanese gentleman who spent years in London, had the brilliant idea of bringing an authentic English pub experience to Japan. He not only serves great drinks but also shares English culture with his guests.

I absolutely love this place and hope more locals discover it. It’s a hidden gem where East meets West in the best...

Any visit to Yugawara would not be complete without visiting this bar. The owner provided excellent service and the drinks were fantastic. We chatted with the owner the whole time, who had lived in London and decided to bring back the English bar experience with him to Yugawara.

Also, the jukebox works!! So drop a ¥100 coin in to listen to a song from the owner's hand-picked music selection.
