Meet your guide and head to the neighborhood of Fuse, a lively hub of local nightlife. Known for its down-to-earth vibe, strong community ties, and mix of Showa-era charm and modern grit, Fuse is where locals gather after work—not where tourists flock, but exactly where you’ll want to be.

Located at the crossroads of culture and commerce, Fuse is the beating heart of Higashi-Osaka. With easy access via multiple Kintetsu lines and just 15 minutes from Namba, it's the perfect place to step off the tourist trail and into the rhythm of everyday Osaka.

Dive into authentic East Osaka drinking culture. Visit two handpicked izakayas, each full of character—think counter seats, handwritten menus, sizzling skewers, and laughter spilling into the street. These are the kinds of places where regulars rub elbows with newcomers, and everyone is welcome.

Spend about an hour at each stop, with ¥1,000 worth of food and drinks included per venue, making it easy to relax and enjoy the night without stress. Expect a variety of bold local flavors—perhaps kushikatsu, nikomi stew, or spicy Osaka-style dishes—paired with sake, shochu, or frosty draft beer.

Your guide will help translate menus, suggest must-try items, and offer insights into the unique identity of Fuse—a place where tradition, working-class warmth, and culinary creativity meet.
