Osaka Dotombori Uranamba Local Bar & Izakaya Crawl Tour

An Osaka bar hopping tour that starts under the Glico sign and leaves it almost immediately for Uranamba, the lanes where Osaka actually drinks. Your guide reads the menus, orders the things worth ordering and explains a city that takes its food more seriously than anywhere else in Japan.

• Dotonbori and the Glico sign, then straight into the backstreets
• Uranamba, where Osaka drinks rather than photographs
• Hozenji, the moss-covered temple in the middle of it all
• A guide who orders and explains every dish
• English throughout, no Japanese needed
