Overview

Experience the real Osaka at night with our local guides who will take you to the corners and some of the most fascinating neighborhoods in the city. In this adventure we will explore below the surface to discover the other side of the cake, where we will have some topics related to the life of the Japanese in depth, such as machismo and how it affects the lack of free expression, you will also be able to learn about the world behind of the hard work culture where university girls wear sensual outfits to attract clients and be able to pay for their university studies or how the noise of the balls from the Pachinko machines locks them in a vague world with no way out. If you want to know in detail the life of the people of Osaka, we are waiting for you to discover it safely with our very well-trained guides.

Discovering the hidden gems of Osaka

Published on Sep, 2024

This free walking tour was the perfect way to end our trip to Japan. Our guide, Calvin, a history student, brought the city's past to life with fascinating stories about Japanese culture and daily life. He led us to places we would have never found on our own, revealing intriguing details that we would have completely missed otherwise. The nearly 3-hour tour flew by, packed with insightful information and fun interactions with our fellow walkers. This tour is an absolute must-do for anyone visiting Osaka. A huge thank you to Calvin for such a memorable experience! IMPORTANT : this is not for children since you will get into the “red zone” Of Osaka.
