Tiki Bar

Tiki Bar Head Hunter

Kita-ku, Okayama, Japan (Closed)

Tiki Bar Head Hunter was a small but thoroughly decorated tiki bar inside Omote-machi Play Town in Okayama. It opened in November 2011, and was owned by Yosiaki Taniguchi.

Logo artwork was created for the bar by Mookie Sato.

The bar was encrusted with bamboo and festooned with netting, with thatch and float lamps and pufferfish and everything you wanted to see in a classic tiki bar.

Though the space was small, live acts performed regularly at Head Hunter, with an emphasis on musicians that really understood the mid-century American vibe.

Head Hunter was cash only.

Tiki Bar Head Hunter in Okayama, Japan closed on April 19, 2025, after operating for 13 years, due to the planned demolition of its building (Omote-machi Play Town).
