As the foodie capital of Japan, Osaka boasts a diverse range of wonderful cuisine and vibrant nightlife throughout the city. Outside of the usual Dotombori and Umeda areas, a deeper side of Osaka can be found while exploring other local areas! Discover the real nightlife and foodie culture of Osaka during this Evening Osaka Food Tour, a guided tour of Tenma and Kyobashi. Explore these two areas in intimate groups, accompanied by amazing food, and experience another side of Osaka at night!

Tenma is a neighborhood renowned for its extensive shotengai (covered shopping street), the Tenjinbashi-suji Shopping Street, and the major Shinto shrine, Osaka Tenmangu Shrine. Offering a real local feel, you’ll explore busy nightlife consisting of cozy lanes and bars bursting with delicious street food. Meanwhile, the old-fashioned streets of Kyobashi lie to the east of Osaka Station, close to Osaka Castle. Around the Osaka Business Park area, Kyobashi is a drinking spot in Osaka that’s overlooked, where salarymen go after work to let off some steam.

Reminiscent of the 1970s Showa era, its narrow streets are filled with nostalgic restaurants, karaoke joints, and standing bars where you can rub shoulders with locals as you drink the night away!

With a mix of exploring by foot and dining locally, you’ll get the best of both worlds during this Evening Osaka Food Tour. Dishes vary each night, so you may try a mix of Japanese favorites, such as sashimi, seasonal vegetables, kushi katsu (deep-fried skewers), and more.

However, we recommend skipping okonomiyaki and takoyaki, as you can find these almost anywhere in Osaka. Throughout the night, you’ll eat a full dinner, and dietary restrictions are easily accommodated with the help of your friendly English-speaking guide! Some of your foodie stops will be at tiny standing bars, serving a range of food and drinks made in-house. During this food tour, you’ll be able to experience the local side of Osaka.
