“This was exactly what I hoped for. After seeing a lot of the touristy parts, it was very interesting to learn about the grittier areas and more about the history. Mari was wonderful and explained everything very well and was very patient to answer any and all questions. I knew a fair amount about the history with the "gentlemen" and about gambling but it was still very interesting. And i learned a lot about the unhoused population and abandoned homes. As a solo traveler, I also greatly enjoyed meeting the others in my group and mingling with people from all over. I think walking through the Red Light Distict actually…”

I felt it was quite overpriced compared to the amount of food we got. I would suggest it gets rebranded as an Osaka city tour with some snacks rather than anything else.”

I refused it and told the Bartender poor me a glass of wine or throw it away...he threw it down the drain and I left!”
