This is a tour around a usually overlooked labyrinth of side-streets and alleyways packed to the brim with bars and eateries that are beloved by locals. Be accompanied by a bilingual expat who will guide you through this district which is criminally overlooked by many visitors. Google translate won't help you here-- many of the menus are hand-written, and the bars staffing no native English speakers. No worries, I will handle all interpretation for you! VEGETARIAN FRIENDLY!

Ura-Temma
By now, surely a touch tipsy, we continue on to the magnificently aglow Ura-Temma, to enjoy Sake, craft beer, or the lively, welcoming Japanese Izakaya's that populate this lantern-illuminated side street.

Osakan underworld tour with a local Criminologist
For those looking for something a little different on their visit to Japan's greatest nocturnal city, away from the temples, anime, and tourist traps... This walking tour focuses on the "Nishinari" district of Osaka. An area infamous for it's connections to the Japanese underworld, a rich history of political uprisings, the stage for the clash (and collusion) between police and crime gangs, and now undergoing unprecedented gentrification.
