Overview

Experience Osaka after dark the way locals do—on foot, around the table, and away from the neon crowds. This small-group night food tour (max 6 guests) explores lively local neighborhoods with multiple sit-down food stops, local drinks, and time to walk, talk, and digest in between.

This is not a pub crawl or a rushed tasting checklist—it’s a relaxed, social evening that balances food, atmosphere, and everyday Osaka culture.

It begins in Tenma, known for its family-run eateries and casual local scene. You’ll taste dishes rooted in everyday Osaka life, with a guide who explains the city’s food culture.

A short train ride brings you to Kyobashi, where the night takes on a livelier feel. You’ll enjoy another round of dishes highlighting contemporary comfort food and Osaka’s welcoming nightlife.

Portions are generous and shared across multiple stops, designed to leave most guests comfortably full by the end of the evening without feeling rushed or overstuffed.

Activity itinerary

Pulala Tenma
  • 1h 30m
  • Admission ticket included
We've got lots to show you in this historic neighborhood, and not just related to food either. Over the course of a 35 minute stroll, you'll learn about the history and now of this part of Osaka. We'll also visit two different restaurants here in Tenma, spending about half an hour in each. This is THE foodie city, so let's get down to the details! Food will vary by restaurant and your tastes over the course of the evening, but typical dishes include kushi katsu (various fried food on sticks), dote nikomi (slow cooked beef... parts), "tonpei yaki" (a grilled pork and egg dish), poached chicken with sesame seed dressing, slow simmered vegetables in a light soy sauce fish stock, lightly pickled mackerel, and much more! We always serve at least ten dishes on our tours. Incidentally, for those looking for something extra beefy, we offer the option of adding 100g (3.5 oz.) of well-marbled Kobe (or nearby) beef at one of our stops. Delicious, but plenty of food tonight even without the beef.
Ogimachi Park
  • 15m
Though most of our time will be spent in a lively warren of smaller streets, we take a little break here to see one of Osaka's favorite green spaces. Nice views, and great cherry blossoms too during spring.
Tenjimbashisuji Shopping Street
  • 15m
The longest covered shopping street in Japan, Tenjinbashisuji has a duly long name to match! We're not about shopping on this tour, but we'll walk down a short portion of the street to get a feel for the scene. Almost all the stores are local, so it's not like the homogenized shopping areas in so many other central parts of the city. Speaking of small scale, since our tours never have more than six guests, we are welcomed into restaurants as part of the family - not as a factory processed tour brigade. You can absolutely count on some fun local interaction!
Kyobashi Station
  • 1h
  • Admission ticket included
After we've thoroughly surveyed Tenma, we'll hop on a train (fare included) for the short ride to Kyobashi, our second neighborhood of the evening. It's here where the famous Tokaido road from Tokyo to Osaka has entered our fair city for centuries. The neighborhood's vibe is a tiny bit more salubrious, but equally fun - and filled to the brim with character. In Kyobashi, we'll walk around about 10 minutes before stopping at a final "standing bar" for more food and drink (included). We love this area because people are super friendly, and the neon and architecture in general still looks just as it must have in the 1960s when Kyobashi really grew into its own during the post-war boom.
