You should be able to find an izakaya very easily, but if you are still concerned, I recommend to walk around near a station.
Recently many izakayas are becoming franchised. But izakaya lovers seem to like traditional type of izakaya, which serves original menus. If you are one of such izakaya lovers but are not sure if you can find such a traditional izakaya, one advice is to try to find Japanese lantern (usually in red) called "
chochin" in Japanese, which is displayed at the entrance and/or curtain-like cloths or ropes called "
noren" in Japanese, which is hung over the entrance.

You can usually enjoy any alcohol drinks, including sake, shochu, beer, cocktail, whiskey, etc. and soft drinks as well.
Typical izakaya food items should include yakitori (skewered char-broiled chicken), oden (Japanese Pot-au-feu), sashimi (raw fish), tempura (deep-fried seafood and vegetables), nabe (Japanese style hot pot dish), and more.
