Additional Information

It will be taken place in standing izakayas in Kyobashi, a locally very popular drinking district but not known for tourists which is filled with small, local favorite restaurants and bars. Eat and drink like a local in these hidden gems while interacting with friendly Osaka locals!

With your local host, you will be encouraged to try old-school izakaya foods and interact with locals in a way that you otherwise wouldn’t. We will go to 2-3 standing izakayas in Kyobashi for you to try various Japanese and Osaka local foods.

The places I will take you to have no English signs or menus, but not to worry, I will translate them for you! By the end of the tour, you’ll be able to order your own next round of food and drinks! Also, you most likely end up drinking with locals.

  • Not recommended for travelers with many dietary restrictions
  • Not recommended for travelers who already have “Japanese food” you want to try

Best experience in Japan! - One of the best experiences from our entire trip to Japan! Aki is an incredible guide; she makes you feel comfortable and knows how to have fun. This is one of the coolest ways to experience authentic Osaka, including local food and drinks. I loved trying out our Japanese with locals. SO FUN! Highly recommend this Izakaya tour to anyone visiting Osaka.
