Osaka Night Tour with a Local – Private Bars, Drinks & Culture
You’ll join one of our local Osaka hosts for a night out in the city that is fast becoming a world-wide favorite! No matter what night of the week it is, you can be assured that Osaka is buzzing! Discover famous entertainment districts like Namba or Umeda, a food paradise like Dotonbori or simply get lost in the network of tiny streets that host everything from izakaya to Sakaya. End off your night (or begin your morning) like the locals do with a steaming bowl of ramen at 3AM. Within 24 hours after booking you'll receive a short questionnaire about your personality and interests. Based on your responses, you'll be assigned a like-minded host. Your host will communicate with you directly to suggest an itinerary to help you discover what makes the city unique. You will also agree on a meeting time and place. Your itinerary is flexible, so during the experience, you can always change your mind about what you want to do.
