The Saturday night market at Tottori Hondori shopping street will take place on July 18, 25, August 1, and August 8, from 5:30 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. It is a long-running summer event, and it also offers a useful backdrop for Tottori’s local craft beer scene, including TEN FORWARD in Iwami.
Hop BroTottori in summer is a strong topic, and this one is all about the Tottori Hondori Saturday Night Market. It runs for four straight weeks on July 18, 25, August 1, and 8, from 5:30 to 9:00 p.m.
MugiWait, four consecutive weeks!? That is basically a weekly summer reward. Wandering a night shopping street with food and drinks sounds dangerously good!
Hop BroAnd this is a summer tradition over 60 years old. The Hondori shopping street area, from Machi Bar Tottori to Wakurabashi, turns into a pedestrian zone and feels like the whole town becomes a festival.
MugiWhoa, a pedestrian-only shopping street at night? So you just stroll, snack, and hop from spot to spot? My stomach and my excitement both reacted immediately.
Hop BroThe beer angle worth watching is TEN FORWARD in Iwami. It operates as a Brew Pub & GuestHouse, and the couple behind it self-renovated a retro seaside house into a craft beer base.
MugiHold on, Brew Pub & GuestHouse is way too much information at once. Is it for drinking, staying overnight, or showing off?
Hop BroBoth, actually. It is basically a brewery you can stay in, where beer is made on-site and enjoyed on-site. A brewery and lodging in one place has real charm.
MugiOkay, that sounds like a secret base. And the beer they make there is IWAMI BLUE BEER, right? Even the name feels like sea breeze in a glass.
Hop BroExactly. The article says the style is not specified, but the key point is that it presents the seaside atmosphere of Iwami through the beer. Beer that reflects a place always hits differently.
MugiSo even without a style name, the place itself is the flavor? That actually makes me want to drink it there even more.
Hop BroThat is the appeal. You get the night market in central Tottori City, and at the same time you keep an eye on TEN FORWARD, so it feels like two sides of Tottori summer happening at once.
MugiNow I want to walk the market and then head to Iwami too. This is totally a drink your way through Tottori summer situation, and I am fully in.
A summer event in central Tottori
The Saturday night market at Tottori Hondori shopping street will be held on four Saturdays: July 18, July 25, August 1, and August 8. The event runs from 5:30 p.m. to 9:00 p.m., and the Hondori shopping street area, from Machibar Tottori to Wakasa Bridge, will become a pedestrian zone.
The market has long been part of Tottori’s summer calendar, continuing for more than 60 years. Its appeal lies in the easy, walkable atmosphere of a car-free shopping street after dark, where visitors can enjoy the area at a slower pace.
TEN FORWARD in Iwami
TEN FORWARD is a Brew Pub & GuestHouse in Uradome, Iwami Town, Tottori. The business was created through a hands-on renovation of a retro vacant house along the coast, and it combines lodging with brewing. It also produces and serves its own craft beer, IWAMI BLUE BEER.
The market in central Tottori City and the craft beer base in Iwami Town show two different sides of the prefecture’s summer scene. Together, they reflect how local events and local brewing continue to shape the region’s identity.
