Experience Details

Located in central Osaka, the area of Kyobashi changes significantly from day to night. By day, it is known for its shopping. By night, it is known for its nightlife. Still, falling outside the regular tourist circuit, many overlook the whimsical atmosphere of Kyobashi’s nostalgic streets and miss out on its unique and authentic local scene.


Here, you can see office workers rushing to work, enjoying their lunch break and then decompressing with drinks after a long day at work. Kyobashi’s nightlife can be defined by the retro atmosphere of its izakaya, tachinomi standing bars and other nightlife spots. This is the unique nightlife you’ll be exploring during this bar-hopping tour.


After meeting you, your guide will then take you by train to Kyobashi, where you’ll discover a completely different side of Osaka. As you stroll through the quiet, unassuming streets, your first stop will be a cozy and welcoming bar where you can enjoy delicious and crunchy kushikatsu (fried skewers).


After dining, your guide will take you to another building with a variety of creative restaurants where you can enjoy food and drinks. Your tour will conclude at a local izakaya with grilled chicken skewers (yakitori) and a refreshing last beverage.


This experience is perfect for those wanting to explore Osaka beyond the most typical tourist sites. You’ll get to interact, clink glasses with locals, and make new friends as you uncover the unique features of Kyobashi’s nightlife scene.
