Description
Discover Osaka's hidden side with local guides passionate about showing you the city beyond the obvious.
On this night tour, we'll explore little-known corners and neighborhoods steeped in history and contrasts, where everyday life reveals surprising aspects of Japanese society.
Through true stories and respectful observations, we'll discuss profound topics such as gender roles, social pressures, work culture, and unique urban phenomena like pachinko parlors. You'll also hear stories of young people facing social challenges while trying to make their way in a vibrant and complex city.
This tour, designed for those over 18, includes a walk through areas such as the Nishinari district, known for its authenticity and nightlife. At the end, we'll provide information and recommendations if you'd like to explore the nearby red-light district on your own. Out of respect for local regulations, your guide won't enter with you, but you'll be well-guided to enjoy the experience safely and responsibly.
Ready to look beyond the neon lights? We look forward to a unique and thoughtful experience.
