Overview

This three-hour guided bar crawl takes place in the Dotombori and Uranamba areas of Osaka. The tour starts at the Dotombori Glico Sign, where the guide explains the history of this iconic landmark. The group then visits Hozen-ji Temple in Dotombori to learn about Japanese temple customs and the reasons people visit this site. After exploring Dotombori, the tour moves to Uranamba, a neighborhood popular with locals for its bars and restaurants but less known to tourists. The group spends about 40 minutes at a local izakaya in Uranamba, sampling foods such as yakitori, karaage, and sake. Following this, the tour continues to a second izakaya in nearby Namba, where guests have approximately 80 minutes to enjoy dishes like gyoza and sashimi along with drinks. The guide provides information about the local atmosphere throughout the walk. Admission to the tour is free, but alcoholic beverages and dinner are not included. This tour is not suitable for guests under 20 years old who plan to consume alcohol.
