Full Description
Looking to enjoy a truly local barhopping experience in Osaka? This private two-hour tour takes you through Umeda, one of Osaka’s liveliest nightlife districts located near Japan’s busiest transit hub—Osaka Station.
While barhopping is common across Japan, hirunomi—daytime drinking—is a special tradition in Osaka. Join your local guide and uncover a world of hidden izakayas, stylish bars tucked inside commercial buildings, and neighborhood joints popular with weekend locals.
The tour begins at a hidden, stylish bar recommended by your guide—often located inside a department store or commercial tower. Enjoy a relaxed introduction with regional drinks and light snacks.
Next, step into a lively alleyway packed with cozy bars and izakayas, where locals gather to unwind. Try Osaka’s signature street food like takoyaki or okonomiyaki, and chat with friendly bartenders and patrons.
