Osaka: LGBTQ+ Life Past and Present
There's gay life in Japan beyond Tokyo, no matter what those capital-dwelling naysayers might say. Osaka is the center of Japan's second biggest metropolitan area, with 17 million people or so... so, do the math and you'll see we've got plenty to offer the LGBT traveler! This experience shows you two distinct areas of Osaka with their handily bifurcated audiences.
This all-inclusive tour includes a light dinner, 2 drinks, and the transit cost between the two LGBT hubs of Shinsekai in the south and Doyama in the north.
We're not the judgmental types, so as the tour ends, we're happy to point you in any direction you may want to go. You are on vacation, after all!
