Full Description

Step into the warm and lively bar scene of Osaka with the TOMODACHI Guides—a team of friendly locals passionate about sharing their city’s best-kept secrets. Over the course of two hours, you’ll visit three carefully selected bars or izakaya, each offering something unique: whether it’s craft sake, local beers, or classic Osaka street food.

From standing-only bars tucked away in back alleys to atmospheric izakaya packed with personality, this tour takes you beyond what you’ll find on Google Maps. Enjoy casual, easygoing conversations with your guide and fellow participants as you sip and snack your way through one of Japan’s most exciting food cities.

Each stop is customizable depending on your food and drink preferences—your guide will ask about your interests and adapt the route accordingly. Whether you’re a fan of sake tasting, curious about Japanese whiskey, or want to try dishes like kushikatsu, yakitori, or oden, this tour lets you explore it all in a relaxed, intimate setting.

This is more than a bar tour—it’s a cultural experience wrapped in laughter, good company, and the warm hospitality Osaka is famous for.
