“Our Osaka evening was truly special! We tasted fantastic skewers, tried countless kinds of sake, and learned so much about local traditions thanks to Ryoko’s guidance. She was incredibly kind, attentive, and full of knowledge — plus she captured lovely photos throughout the night. The best part was finally singing karaoke, and Ryoko went the extra mile by helping us continue the fun at another karaoke bar she booked for us.”

★★★★★★★★★★4.7 · 18 reviews · 2 hours · from $19

Explore Namba’s izakayas, whiskey bars, local drinks, and Osaka nightlife with an English-speaking guide in a small two-hour group.

“What an unforgettable evening! ✨ We had the most fantastic time exploring hidden izakayas tucked away in little alleys — each one filled with incredible food, atmosphere, and the warmest people. We tried dishes we’d never have known to order ourselves (and loved every one of them!), along with some seriously good sake and cocktails. Koda was the absolute star of the show — an amazing host from start to finish (and even after! 😂). So knowledgeable, welcoming, and fun — it felt like exploring with a local friend who knew all the best spots. Couldn’t recommend this experience more highly! 🌸🍶💫”
