You’ll join your host to learn Japanese, and wait, no, just kidding! You’ll join them to get comfortable in Japan’s friendliest city and pick up the essential tips and tricks you’ll need for the rest of your trip. Think of it as a crash course for everything in Osaka - from discovering the unique local dialect known as Osaka-ben to the local food scene.

Get recommendations on some of Osaka’s most famous street foods, like okonomiyaki, a savory pancake, or kushikatsu, deep-fried skewers of just about anything! Ask your local insider any questions you have, perhaps over a beer in a tiny izakaya bar in Hozenji Yokocho, a historic alleyway that’s right next to the bright lights of Dōtonbori Street but feels like stepping back in time.
