Asahikawa places still open after midnight

Published 2026-10-17 ／ Updated 2026-10-17 ／ the lists update automatically from our listing data

Some details are shown in Japanese.

Nights in Asahikawa run long after midnight. Most izakaya and jingisukan (lamb BBQ) places close around 11 p.m., but after that comes a culture of the closing bowl of ramen and one more bar.

This page lists the places on our site that stay open past midnight, with their hours. Each entry shows the date we checked the hours. Late at night, places sometimes close early or run out of soup, so if you are coming from far away, call ahead or ask our chat what is open right now.

First, how locals spend the night

After more than 100 trips to Asahikawa, this is the order our operator has settled on.

  1. In the early evening, SUMIYA (炭や) or ramen (AZITOKU (味特 本店) opens at 5 p.m.)
  2. If you want to drink, shinko-yaki grilled chicken at ぎんねこ
  3. As the night deepens, whisky at iKAZON its BAR
  4. To finish, the medium-spicy miso ramen at 春夏冬

Sumiya and Ginneko close at 10 p.m., and that is where this page takes over.

Founded in 1999. When it comes to finishing the night with ramen in Asahikawa, this is the place. The moment you step into the restaurant, everyone orders the same thing: "Medium spicy, please." Asahikawa ramen is typically all about soy sauce, but here everyone orders the medium-spicy miso. A special miso sauce kneaded with peanuts. The Peko-chan candy you get when leaving the restaurant brings a little joy.

Established in 1978. Personally, the first place I visit when going to Asahikawa is the main branch of 味特 本店 (AZITOKU). THE Asahikawa ramen. The soy sauce broth with a mellow pork bone flavor is irresistible. Miso is also popular among locals. It is cherished as a finishing bowl of ramen (shime). The owner welcomes you with a kindly smile. Although it is a long-established shop, the interior is very clean after renovations, making it easy for women to enter as well. There are more locals than tourists.

This is the place to go for whisky. Opened by someone who worked at the Conrad. Located deep in Kaimono-dori Shopping Park (Kaimono-koen), in a quiet area away from the 3-jo 6-chome district (3-6-gai). The interior has a calm atmosphere, and the owner is friendly while maintaining a comfortable distance. Customers are mainly locals, and in winter, foreign ski tourists also visit. If you order, definitely go for whisky. If whisky isn't your strong suit, try a fruit cocktail.

A restaurant facing a narrow alley. Even if it's your first time, the interior is so relaxing you won't feel like a newcomer. Yet, there are few tourists. The landlady is friendly, making it comfortable even for solo diners. They grill over charcoal right in front of you. The monkfish liver namero is exquisite. The oden kurumabuta-fu is too.

Closing in the 11 p.m. hour (go early)

These close during the 11 p.m. hour, so they are not options after midnight. Try to arrive by 9 p.m. as your first stop.
