When central Kitakyushu feels loud, leap is the room you can slip into. Twenty minutes by JR or car, in Okagaki, in front of Ebitsu Station. The lights stay low, the music stays soft, and the night is yours.
A room designed to disappear into
Subdued lighting, warm tones, generous spacing between seats. The kind of place where the world outside fades for a few hours. No loud crowds. No background TVs. Just glass, conversation, and time.

Whisky, shochu, cocktails — chosen with care
Bottles from across Japan, Scotland, Kyushu's local distilleries, plus seasonal cocktails on the chalkboard. Tell us what kind of night you want and we'll find something that lands.
Easy from Kitakyushu, easy to come back from
Twenty minutes by JR Kagoshima Main Line from Kokura, or about thirty minutes by car. The escape doesn't have to be a long one. Free parking on site for the Kitakyushu, Wakamatsu, and Yahata crowd.

Quiet enough for a real conversation
Whether it's two friends catching up, a date, or a slow solo evening, leap is built for the kind of conversation that gets cut short in louder bars. Reserve via LINE on weekends if you want a guaranteed seat.
