Authentic Osaka Night - One of the best food tours we’ve been on. The okonomiyaki was packed with flavor, and the kushikatsu was crispy and fresh. The places we visited were full of locals, which made the experience feel really authentic. My son especially loved the atmosphere. If you want to eat like a local, this is the tour to take. Would definitely do it again!

Best tour in Osaka! - The night tour gave us a taste of Osaka’s vibrant street life. We walked through back alleys, tried kushikatsu (fried skewers), and visited cozy bars where the locals hang out. It felt like we were living a scene from a movie!

Fun night with Local Guide! - We had an incredible night exploring with Ben! The atmosphere was exactly what we were hoping for—authentic, lively, and full of character. Ben knew all the best local spots, from classic standing bars to hidden gems you’d never find in a guidebook. We felt like we got a real taste of Osaka’s nightlife, and the stories he shared made it even more special. Perfect for a fun, laid-back date night!

Choose this tour. You will be 100% satisfied. - Ben was an ultimate guide! The tour was intimate, customized, informative and a pure local night life hangout experience. Trust me, without Ben, you wouldn’t have an Osaka experience like this one. We ate and sipped izakaya style. The cost was nominal when taking into account all the wonderful foods, drinks, and conversation we shared, not to mention the authentic atmosphere of our Tennoji tour that Ben offered. He customized the tour on the spot and took us to a local karaoke bar. We had a blast! Choose this tour. We will certainly come back to hangout with Ben in the future.

Osaka best night - I had such a great time the first time that I just had to join Ben’s tour again! This time, he showed us new hidden spots in Shinsekai, and we explored even more local izakayas. Ben’s energy made it feel like a night out with a friend. Great food, great drinks, and the best company. Can’t wait for round three! Thanks, Ben!

Osaka nightlife - We had such a great time on Ben’s tour last time that we had to do it again! This time, he took us to even more hidden spots with amazing food. Ben made us feel right at home, just like before. It’s the perfect way for families to enjoy Osaka’s nightlife. We’d definitely come back for a third round!
