Overview

Discover the ghetto, retro zone, yakuza, redlight district, illegal gambling dens and the intriguing neighbourhoods of Osaka with your quirky, knowledgeable & affable tour guide.

During the tour you’ll do some taste testing at a street stall. Then after we finish exploring, you’ll have the option to go to a local, traditional, family run restaurant tasting 5 delicious dishes!

.

We strive to show you the authentic Osaka on this night tour, where you get a real and deep understanding of the inner workings of this amazing city visiting some architecture which is steeped in history & some run down, derelict areas too…not what Osaka Tourism wants you to see!

Get an inside look with very authentic and honest take on this amazing city of Osaka where we'll answer all your queries(even taboos questions). The whole spectrum from the good, the bad and everything else in between.
