5.00Hanukkah was upbeat and gave a balanced view of history and sentiment of the red light district and showed some featured highlights along the way. He was eager to share Japanese history and culture and engage on questions about comparative society. The foods he picked were delicious and our night was much enriched by his tour.
A unique and interesting...

5.00This was by far one of the best experiences that we had in Osaka. Leo was very informative about the Red Light District, and quite the comedian as well. We loved every minute of the tour and greatly appreciate Leo for the awesome time.
One of the best experiences of our 2 week trip

5.00I booked this experience on a whim and didn’t know what to expect, and this exceeded any expectations. Super fun, our guide was very informative and funny and made all of us in the group feel comfortable and welcome. We learned a lot about the red light district and its history, afterwards we got to try a true local standing only izakaya. Our guide Rui pushed us out of our comfort zones with some unique food choices and I’m so happy he did! My fiancé is a chef and he had been dying to try some of the dishes we had. Definitely a must book experience! Would book again just to eat and drink with Rui! Thank you so much for the unforgettable memories!!!!
Lighthearted tour that could use more detail

2.00While Leo was very light hearted and well intentioned, I believe there are likely more informative tours about the area in Osaka. I wish we had spent more time actually walking around the red light district and Shinsekai.
