Oden Tours Nocturnos

This was a really great experience. Backstreets for sure, and in places, tough and seedy ones where I never would have ventured as a solo woman traveler. Knox really knew his stuff about the neighborhoods, and how organized crime works, and we even walked through a red light district that was nothing I'd ever seen before, anywhere. I definitely have an expanded sense of Osaka and Japan now. Castles and shrines are wonderful, but this was much better, and I'm glad its in my mix of complicated Japan, because its under the surface. Way under!

This was an excellent tour. Our guide was very knowledgeable and it was a unique look at Osaka. Dinner was a bonus for sure. Highly recommended.

Brian and Knox were awesome , both full of info and great at explaining the local Japanese culture and history .For those of you who like a bit of grit and realism this is the tour you want

We just experienced a wonderful backstreet tour with Bennett that was informative, memorable and a highlight of our trip to Japan.

Brian was knowledgable about Osaka modern day culture and he gave us lots of information about history power and politics in Osaka’s backstreets. He was really engaging and relatable and full of great anecdotes. Food was provided - it would have been good to hear more about Japanese cuisine however this was not the focus of the tour.

It was a great alternative walking tour and we enjoyed a great experience! Guide is very competent and enthousiastic about the topic and you see another side of Osaka. Food and drinks were great! We will recommend this tour to others.

Dylan did an outstanding job. He was very friendly, knowledgable and likable. The dinner at the end was quite good.

Fantastic experience! Our guide Brian was excellent—he's lived in Japan for years and shared so much insider perspective that really enriched the tour. It was refreshing to also explore a less polished side of Japanese society. The food was delicious - both the snacks and the dinner.

Our tour guide Adam Smith did a fantastic job of entertaining us whilst taking us to some areas of Osaka we would not have experienced otherwise. We learned many interesting facts and laughed a lot!

Andy was an amazing guide taking us around the back streets of Osaka. He was funny, informative, and knowledgeable. 100/10 would recommend this tour!

Fantastic tour! Hugo is an amazing guide, I would do a tour with him again for sure. Everyone in my group had a great time learning about the history of the less seen areas in Osaka. I do think there should be a disclaimer that this is an “adult only” tour. Did not impact us but I would not recommend bringing children on this tour.

The tour was great and the insight in Osaka' s history and present was very insightful.. The host Sacha was fantastic and was very clear, took his time with the tour progression and been extremely informative, as well as funny and friendly! 5 star and experience and would recommend to anyone who doesn't just want to stop by and try some local delicacies, which by the way was also included and a lovely meal to finish of the tour. Great work guys! Elias
