Yoshi was amazing - totally had me covered for gluten free food, even at a tempura place! Got even in the group, even the introverts, into the bars and karaoke at Golden Gai. Cannot recommend this tour enough.

Man, this tour was unreal! I was in Osaka and decided to check out The Ultimate Osaka Food Tour with Rodney, and I’m so glad I did. Rodney’s the man—he speaks fluent English and Japanese, so he made everything super easy to follow. He took us down these little alleyways to some hidden bars and restaurants where the locals go, and the food? Absolutely killer. Every stop had something new, and Rodney really knew how to show us the best spots. What I loved most was the people we met along the way. I ended up hanging out with folks from all over, plus a few locals who were super friendly. There’s nothing better than bonding over great food and drinks with people you’ve never met before. Rodney made sure the whole group felt like we were just a bunch of friends out for a good time, which made the experience that much better. To wrap it all up, Rodney himself performed at the stand-up comedy show! The guy’s hilarious, and he had us all cracking up. We finished the night with some of the best fried chicken I’ve ever had—seriously, it was that good. I booked the tour through Byfood, and if you’re in Osaka, you’ve gotta do this. Five stars, no question!

Japan is a drinker’s paradise. Between gulping down glasses of some of the best beer, sake and whisky in the world, and discovering strange new drinks you’d never even heard of before, there’s something to suit every kind of drinker out there. Bar hopping in Japan is a real boozy voyage of discovery.

The variety in alcohol is matched by the insane range of bars. In every major Japanese city you’ll find small retro standing bars from the 60s where salarymen gather for their post-shift pints, awesome craft beer bars which showcase the best of the contemporary Japanese beer scene, and refined watering holes where you can sample glass after glass of premium nihonshu delights.

You could spend a whole year hopping between all of the bars in Tokyo alone, and never go to the same place twice! If you don’t quite have that much time to spare, why not hop on a bar hopping tour in Japan to unlock the best hidden secrets these city streets have to offer?

Whether you’re looking for a chill evening soaking up the culture, or a wild night out to remember, the nightlife in Japan offers plenty to fit the bill.
