Experience the Magic of Tokyo’s Nightlife at the First-Ever 'MARU-HI Izakaya'
Step into an immersive outdoor experience that blends the best of Tokyo’s vibrant nightlife. The first-ever MARU-HI Izakaya is a unique fusion of night market energy and authentic Japanese izakaya culture, bringing the magic of Tokyo’s beloved nightlife to the heart of LA for one unforgettable evening.
What is Izakaya Culture?
Izakayas are informal Japanese bars where friends gather to enjoy drinks and small plates. Known for their warm, communal atmosphere, izakayas are places where good food, great drinks, and meaningful connections take center stage for a distinct social dining experience.
What Does My Ticket Include?
