Highlights

  • Taste a wide variety of Japanese sake, local beer, and unique spirits
  • Explore Dotonbori and Uranamba with a local guide who knows all the hidden spots

  • Connect with fellow travelers on a small-group tour (5–10 people typical)

Full Description

Your evening begins in Dotonbori, where your local guide will introduce you to the lesser-known side of this vibrant neighborhood. Stroll through back alleys, spot quirky shops, and learn about the local nightlife culture.

Next, make your way to Uranamba, a buzzing district full of secret bars and underground izakayas. Thanks to your guide’s local connections, you’ll gain access to places that don’t typically welcome tourists.

At each venue, sample a mix of drinks including local beer, Japanese spirits, and sake. Try small bites and bar foods that pair perfectly with your drinks. Along the way, learn about local drinking etiquette and how to “kanpai” like a local.

Your final stop will be a hidden bar inside a building unknown to most travelers — the perfect way to cap off an unforgettable night. You’re free to stay out and continue enjoying Osaka’s nightlife after the tour ends.

Note: If you have any dietary restrictions, please inform the guide in advance.
The group splits the bill at each bar. For easier calculations, amounts under 99 yen may be rounded up.
