The Backstreet Osaka Tour kicks off at the Imamiya Ebisu Shrine where you'll learn why 1 million Japanese come here on January 9th, 10th and 11th to bring gifts with costs ranging from 10 bucks to thousands of US dollars. Eventually the tour moves through Shinsekai and Nishinari where you get a healthy dose of reality of living in the Osaka ghettos. The good, the bad and everything else in between!

Eating a tarantula must have been my most memorable experience on this tour, never have I ever been this afraid to eat something, not even my Korean Octopus Adventure comes close. It tasted like burned shrimp but even more tasteless, the best thing this street vendor had to offer were grilled snake and mealworms but make sure to chase it with a cold tasty beer.
Besides eating tarantulas, we could choose lots of other bizarre items ranging from frogs, cockroaches and scorpions to entire geckos. Shinsekai is a must-see district in Osaka, if not for its for food, definitely for its unique atmosphere and beautiful store decorations.
The most mysterious place on this tour is Osaka's red light district known as Tobita Shinchi where you can witness beautiful Japanese girls trying to lure Japanese businessmen into their little shop. The district consists out of 3 major streets, first street houses girls in their 20's, second street women in their 30's and third street 40's and up. Another interesting area the tour visits is Kamagasaki where the homeless population of Osaka hangs out. It is quite eye-opening to see the state of housing in these ghettos, a site usual tourists will never see of Japan. This entire district goes by the name: Nishinari, primarily run by the Yakuza, Japan's maffia organization.
To get to Osaka from Tokyo, I highly recommend you purchase the Unlimited Japan Rail Pass which let's you travel Japan for either 7, 14 or 21 days on the Shinkansen bullet trains which run at 320 km/hr.
If you still have enery after the incredible Backstreet Osaka Tour, continue your nightlife adventure at the Osaka Pub Crawl on Friday and Saturday. You will visit the best bars & nightclubs in Shinsaibashi which covers 3 bars and 1 epic nightclub twice per week. Including places such as DOMUS, LIFE and Sam & Dave. The Osaka Pub Crawl is a great way to quickly make new friends in Osaka and learn everything about the latest hot spots in the city. The Osaka Pub Crawl is ONLY $18 USD with a 20% discount for 4 hours of fun, you cannot go wrong!
If you make new friends in Osaka, you will eventually be asked to be added to LINE. LINE is 'the' chat app in Japan, so if you do not have DATA on your phone during your stay, make sure to rent a dirt cheap pocket Wifi station at the airport. You can take these pocket Wifi stations all over Japan and allow you to connect many of your devices like your laptop, tablet and phone. It even fits in your back pocket. Luckily, I have a 50% discount on Wiho pocket Wifi stations on Voyagin. I personally rent this device everytime I visit Japan.

Click bait!
Thank you for being soo thoughtful.. You placed ads at the place where they should be ..thank you
Damn, Bennett totally has Leonard DiCaprio's eyes and eyebrows
The most dangerous area in Japan looks safer than any city in the US
Except Miami, only
@@Adrianirsyad1 looks even safer than miami still
not to me BOZO
Big time disagree
looks safer than Philadelphia
no matter where in japan you go you will find a Australian that speaks perfect Japanese to help you (this isnt a joke btw)
Joey The Anime Man be like...
Yea it kinda true too lol
It’s weird tho cause aussies have pretty strong accents like me
Mate aussies over in japan be reelin in all the shielas
Why Australian are into so much immigranted to Japan and learn good japanese. Maybe the girls (dark humor or acid humor) 😂😂😂😂
Who else tap the video because of the red light
All male's ofcourse
For who curious how japan red light district like , not necessarily just male .
Andy’s Backstreet Osaka Tour was phenomenal! His storytelling capability and evident love for Osaka made for an amazing evening... he even recommended dinner at a delicious local spot after! A must do if you’re looking for a walking tour that puts you in touch with the city off the beaten path 🤘🏻
andy pandy
3:10 Hachama: "niceee"
Erwin: I got in trouble because of u
A man of culture, I tip my hat for that
RLD Part starts at 6:09
Feels a little click bait if you ask me
Correct
wow... I love Osaka Red district.. so much things to do.
Awesome video...a real unfiltered experience!!:)
They are clueless. there are not prostitutes on the street here.
When the most dangerous part of japan is more developed than your city's most posh area.
Yes that is pretty crazy! Will you ever visit Japan?
Matt back at it again with an amazing video!
Love that retro arcade ☺ ♥ 🇯🇵
Tha best!!!!
I stayed in Nishinari-ku for a while. I never really got the feeling that is was dangerous. I mean there was a lot of poverty, a few strange drunk people, but they just did their own thing. Nobody really bothers you, and even with all the poverty nobody is begging or hassling you. In fact, I’ve felt much more unsafe in my own country..
What's your own country may I ask?
@@Cosine_Omak U.K.
@@johnon1344 Yeah anywhere in Japan is safer than UK lol I live here too
the atmodphrere is more depressing in osaka though
Japan is different from any places in the world. It is amazing
every country is different and Japan is not amazing.
Japan is incredible indeed, especially ones you make local friends
Japan is mindblowing!
it truly is! worth every penny, every time
the girls will blow your eel
Your videos are an amazing insight into Japan not usually seen. I've always loved everything Japanese and you have cemented that love for me, thank you. i am now subscribed , keep making good videos !! Thank you from the uk
Happy new year 🎄🎊🎉🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦
Really good info. Wish i knew it before going there in 2018. Will revisit in the near future. Wonderful vids. Thnks for sharing
Great backstreet tour. I have to visit
Japanese have the nicest shrine ever and there old school house is nice and the back yard looks so cool they plants little trees and small pond with fish in it
This is really cool you're making me want to book a trip tomorrow.
It's still covid area 🥲🥲
I am going this December for 18 Days. I can not wait. 10Days in Osaka and 8 Days in Tokyo Going to be amazing. Been looking forward for this trip for years.
Osaka is worth every penny! did you make an itinerary list yet? care yo share?
Another great video by Matt. The tour sounds great. Love your japan videos. Again gonna share it with friends to keep them hyped for going to Japan ;)
Super, that is so nice of you! Thank you so much for supporting the channel by sharing, it means the world to me! Also, here is a new itinerary once you come to Tokyo www.reformatt.com/7-day-tokyo-pocket-itinerary
@@Reformatt Niceee appreciate it. Next time I'm there I'm sure it will come in handy. Been in Japan also several times. It's my favorite country to go too 😬
You didnt look for this,yt algo reunited all here.Im glad
I have been to Osaka in September 2019. Next time I will go to the RLD and spend some time there. Thanks. Nice video.
Seriously
Hmm "spend some time there" seggs? 😏
can whities rent japanese ladies there?
@@nickryan6787 🗿 I mean , can you blame em 😂 it's on my list of places to visit now aswell
@@1MinuteFlipDoc I think many shops have a rule that you must speak japanese, so the ladies can communicate, if they feel uncomfortable.
Wow interesting,Thankyou so much for advertising japanese yakitori and our restaurant Asian izakaya lotus
I went on this tour 2 years ago. It was excellent.
Man im tryna eat some good foods and fawk some hot women
pLEASE EXPLAIN WHY IT WAS EXCELLANT - A LITTLE DETAILS- tHANKS
Well done ❤️
Wow! The best travel videos I've seen. Thanks bro!
Me to my Bois: Guys pack the bag now we're going to Osaka RLD😚😚
Nice video. Thanks for sharing. Have fun and success always
I hope more channel growth. That would be a dream
my best wishes for japan.
God bless u japanese. Thanks for everything..
It is a great country indeed
So nice..I love japan..a beautiful country with the best people...
I agree, Japan is an amazing place. Are you visiting again someday soon?
@@Reformatt yes,sure
Thank you for being soo thoughtful.. You placed ads at the place where they should be
osaka is perhaps the wildest city in japan
I have to agree with you
Thank you for posting very interesting video! Awesome! Although Osaka is one of the most dangerous city in Japan, but relatively, very safe even at night, Osaka is interesting city for cuisine and people, I love there !
dangerous? not at all.. .why do you think that?
@@TristanSamsung Thank you for your reply!, one episode.. The time when I visited Kamagasaki district, it was 5 or 6 years after the huge riot incident occurred in 1990. I saw many police men marching surrounding the park and oversighting the homeless people in the park. I was scared when I saw that.
I told my friend about this episode, he told me Osaka's crime rate is highest in Japan.
@@tomishin1009 Mhh okay.. maybe it was back then I don't know. What I heard is that Tokyo has some crime but even these are mostly "just" credit card frauds. after all I'd say japan is one of the safest countrys in the world. I've been to osaka multiple times tho
May this New Year be special in every way… bringing you the gift of love and excitement. ❤️
🤗😘Look forward to hearing from you!👼🌸💐😊
💝💝💝
Konichiwa are you Japanese women?? Hajimemashsite

4:06 the world is shaking when he shaked.. hahaha
can i request to be left in the red light district then i make it home on my own lol
su re
I see what you mean there. 😏
I was actually on a walking tour to this area with the guy talking at 7:25. Interestingly enough, at the end of the tour after we walked through the red light district, we noticed that this one guy on the tour was missing…
@@sinnottboy uh oh, did they find him?
@@QTcomicsPOP Nah he was long gone
I miss visiting Japan, very vibrant life
I miss Japan too, it is amazing
2:53 this is something Haachama would like
You always make amazing videos but idk why you don't get more views.
And plz come to india sometime
India is high on my bucket list 🙂

Awesome thank you! New videos coming soon
Matt, I need NEED a playlist of the music you have used in your videos over the years. I can't find any of these amazing tracks!!
Yeah perhaps I should release a Spotify list
The most dangerous part of the safest country in the world. It would be like walking through Salt Lake City.
Indeed you are correct. Thank you for watching! Please watch my new season 10 as well, you may be able to use all the new tips for your next trip.
I've been to Japan, Osaka to be exact. My grandfather lived there and I stayed there for three and a half months. None of my relatives told me about the red light district. When I go back to visit I will most definitely have to inquire about this. And I've heard eaten about everything that there is but none of those bugs though. I will stick to the regular food.
You will have a blast regardless
Men of culture, we meet again.
we love vajajay
,,your videos make me think of prioritizing the Japan tour as my next #Edventure. How was the taste of tarantula? Haha
I would eat it again, but mentally prior myself a bit better prior lol. Yes, prioritize Japan for cherry blossom season in March/April
Reformatt Show lol! Thanks for the the suggested best month to experience blossoms ;)
1:27 Lady in red
3:08 i see the struggle there hahaha
Definitely
I got so wasted at the tokyo pub crawl that I passed out in roppongi. I regret nothing.
Would love this tour indeed lol. Red light district will be fun to learn about too lol. Anyway to get into the culture is always good.
Be aware of Yakuza
Nice
Good vid matt! I could never eat a spider....
This is the most homegrown-white-kid-visiting-known-tourist-centers-thinking-he's-doing-something-special video I've seen for long time.
A real flashback to those 1980s tourists who visited Mexico across the border, and thought it's the end of the world coz local people they didn't speak English! 😱
wtf u yapping about 😂
Relax your mind and soul haha 😂
Osaka sangat bagus
You in the tourist spots, we were in real osaka 1996~1999 after working a 14 hour day! I'm old now.
You are never too old to return to Osaka and enjoy the amazing city
Giving you the sub for eating the spider
You. Are AWESOME!
Live, Play, Love
That is what life is ask about
OMG you are braver man than I to eat those insect and even a bloody snake!

Wow thank you for subbing
Thats jacked up lol
The sumo restaurant is for people like me who have high metabolism. Id take three of those takoyaki plates.
Things I've learned from this video:
1. I could be in for a magical meat adventure 7:36
2. Japanese people have huge balls 5:08
Hahaha, you make it sound like this video had other intentions
At Tobita Shinchi as red light district, don’t take a picture and movie please. Additionally, some foreigners had a bad attitude.Then, please treat them carefully. If so, you are men of culture. Welcome to Osaka!!
Nice bro, You got luck in there.
Haha, no I just did the tour
4:30 Basically Bear Grylls Sponsors this place.
I really like your old school culture me gusta. Tamales mama mia italia frances spaghetti yo nose Hahahahah Rachel said.
It's kinda good to see the poor parts of Japan too, or else I'll feel really sedd that I'm just here...
The Most Dangerous place in Osaka, isn't dangerous at all.. No one is going to do anything to you there.
And while you adversities this the the Red Light District, this video shows the a brothel area for only 3 seconds.
Clickbait at it’s finest in all his videos. Imagine what the real number of his subs and views per video would be without the click bait titles/thumbnails 😂😂😂
true! although filming there isn't even allowed
@@TristanSamsung There are signs that say no photography, but I have seen a number of videos filmed there.
@@Captain_Sarcastic Yea of course.. some people filming there regardless but it's not allowed tho
VERY NICE
I am glad you like the video
I am dutch, why is it so easy to spot a dutch accent, even when your english is so good.
A Dutch accent is tough to get rid off, and even if possible, would you really want to haha. You sound unique 😊😜
Beautiful
I concur. Osaka is an incredible place
Craazy
Crazy indeed
6:05 That's what she said
No. That’s what HE said
97.6k awesome bizarre food's
Osaka Sayer ramen restaurant because customers do not know where to stop the bike and drive customers violently
At 12 o 'clock on May 17, 2023, I went to a ramen restaurant named "Sayin" in Namori Machi, Hoku, Osaka, through Google Maps. The ramen restaurant was in an alley, and I could see more than ten people lined up at the door far away. I was looking for a place to park my bicycle (I bought a bicycle to travel after coming to Japan, but I also knew that indiscriminate parking is not allowed in Japan, so I always pay attention to it). About 20 meters away from the ramen restaurant, there was a small space on the side of the road, and there were already two bicycles parked, so I parked my bicycle beside it. Also specially looked around, for fear of inappropriate, affect others, saw the opposite is a car park, there is an old man in sweeping, also looked up at me, saw me parking also did not make a sound, continue to sweep the floor, I parked the car to the ramen shop ready to line up, just went to the crowd there queue heard someone behind the loud Shouting, to Japan rarely hear people speak loudly, I was also startled, look back is that sweeping the old man shouted at me, pointing to the bike, I looked quickly back to get the bike, still thinking "here don't let the parking just how not to say?" (In retrospect, if I had not gone to the ramen restaurant, I might not have been called), I pushed the bike to the door of the ramen restaurant, full of people in line, the roadside is certainly not good, the small street is very narrow, will affect others to walk, in the ramen restaurant opposite is an apartment building, the first floor is a bicycle parking lot, I saw there are several empty parking space, thinking of stopping for a while to eat ramen before leaving, Should not affect others, the cart in ready to park, who knows just that sweeping the old man to keep up and shouted at me, I think it must be here also don't let the parking, we don't give people trouble, ride a bike to walk, went to a nearby 7-11 convenience store, there is a parking lot at the door to park the car to line up. Who thought this thing was over? Who thought it had been in line for a while. A young female shop assistant came to ask me something. Seeing that I could not understand, she went in and took a mobile phone out. I admitted that it was me and gestured that I was a new visitor, didn't know where to park and had now parked somewhere else. The content displayed on the translation software was also incomprehensible, and I could not communicate with each other when I made gestures. When I was in a hurry, the female clerk came in. After a while, she brought out a tall male clerk, who walked quickly in front of me with his head high and open and his eyes high and up, Shouting something loudly and violently at me. Know I certainly do not understand, and then raised two arms in the air hard to draw a huge "X" shape, to here I fully understand what it means, helpless, can only shake his head and leave.
I was very depressed the whole afternoon and did not have lunch. Since I landed in Japan on March 17th, it has been two months since today. Although I do not know Japanese, I have experienced everything from the airport to the station, from the shopping mall to the restaurant, from the elderly to the children through observation and personal experience. Every place and every person is willing to offer help to others and pass on love. This is a touching and unforgettable experience, which makes me feel warm and relieved in a strange land. I have a lot of respect for the people here, and it motivates me to imitate them everywhere, to try to follow the rules in every daily life and in every public place, and not to cause trouble to others. Maybe I'm new here, and I'm not doing it very well in some places, but I'm already trying to learn to give back to everyone I meet the love and respect that has been passed on to me by those around me. It was a pity that everything I experienced at the gate of Sayren's Ramen restaurant at noon destroyed the good impression I had built before. Maybe I didn't park my bike well. I admit my mistake, but it was my first time here and I was not familiar with the situation. The store can remind me or even warn me that I can't do this next time. Even if I don't want to receive it, I can tell or signal normally. There is no need to make such rude and rude words and deeds.
That is a very long story
I almost passed out after the tarantula eating scene.
Stay with us
I definitely want a naughty surprise!
NICE
Merci
I don't think I'd be able to eat that tarantula!
Yes you can! I have faith in you!
@@Reformatt I'll do my best
Yeah...... Japan 🇯🇵 Rock's 😎😎😈😈

Grilled snake is good if you can find someone selling bigger snakes. It's harder to overcook the bigger ones
I should try bigger snakes next time. Did you enjoy the video?
Hi from India 🇮🇳
Bennett : 👍
seems cool. id prefer it solo though
Yes, but you could also do both, group and solo
