      Great start to the night!
      Tamaki was a wonderful host. Super friendly and easy to talk to. She took us to a local izakaya with some of the best sashimi and small bites I've had in Japan. I will definitely be back and recommend this tour for a good start to the night! Thank you Tamaki!

      A great night out, highly recommended
      Tamaki met us in the designated meeting spot and led the way to three restaurants (plus a bonus food stall since we had extra time). She took us to restaurants/izakayas that I wouldn't know about unless I was a local. We got to try different foods and I was full by the end of the night. As a host, Tamaki was friendly, knowledgeable and easy-going. We had good conversation throughout the evening. Overall it was a great experience, especially for my first night in Japan.

      Absolute fire
      I had a few days and nothing to do in Osaka so I decided to take this experience with Tamaki. Like others have said, we would have never been to these places because they're so well hidden and usually not found on Google Maps in romaji, you'd look suspicious trying to find it. The final place, the bar, is literally facing the main road but would go waay over my head if I wanted to drink somewhere with the boys. Now I know what's good for that nightlife and thanks to Tamaki, everything went smoothly. Even the sake. That stuff is harder than Henny.

    It was the first time I have ever been to Japan. I wanted to make this trip for so many years and finally I was able to experience a fantastic night in the deep roots of Osaka. Osaka at night is beautiful, we went to local places that were well-hidden from the public view. We ate so much and the food was delicious! Amazing prices too. The host was very friendly and knowledgeable and was able to guide us in perfect English, through the hidden gems of the city. Most importantly, I found my favorite Japanese sake! I recommend this to everyone visiting Osaka! The host will make your night unforgettable!

    I never thought I would have such an awesome night in Osaka as I did, thanks to my guide Tamaki from Experience+. Tamaki ensured I got to experience the bustling nightlife of the city. She took me around the city to visit hidden restaurants and bars where I tried sushi, okonomiyaki, which is a sort of Japanese pancake containing a variety of ingredients and of course Japanese sake. My guide also made it easy for me to interact with and learn about the culture from the locals. She speaks good English and did the translations for the numerous questions and answers we exchanged with those I meet. All I can say is if you truly want to experience all that Osaka nightlife has to offer take this tour with Wow! Japan Experience +. You will enjoy your night out while learning about their foods and culture in the city and all that will be worth the price paid.

    Host is not very experienced in hosting, there’s a lot of awkward moments in between. Learnt and tried little new food as we’ve eaten most of similar food before in our own country and the portion is hardly filling(we had to have a bowl of ramen each after that). Sake session was interesting as we get to try different types and food pairings but would be better if we actually have food to go with the sake. Overall I think it’s more suitable for westerners who don’t have much prior exposure to Japanese food.
