A few of the Tombori River Cruise passengers in awe of the neon lights

Tombori River Cruise in Osaka

Historical Glico billboard, Christmas lights, & Comedy

Jessica A Paje

In one of the liveliest areas of Osaka, Dotonburi (道頓堀, pronounced Dotombori), lays the Tombori River Cruise . A 20-minute cruise along Dotonburi River is a great way to experience the neon city lights from a different angle particularly during the Christmas season. Not only are holiday decorations strung across the bridges, the animated cruise guide even dresses up as Santa Claus! Even though the tour is spoken only in Japanese by a Rakugo comedian, if you pay close attention you might just understand and laugh along. At 700 yen per adult ticket, it’s one of the popular touristy things to do when you’re in Osaka. Not just during the Christmas season, but all throughout the year.

You’ll start by lining up at the Tazaemonbashi Bridge Boat Dock, a 5-minute walk from Namba Station. With seating capacity of about 20 passengers, be sure to bundle up for chilly nights. Once comfortable you’ll want to have your camera ready to capture the fun electronic displays and mechanical ones, too. Photo tip: apply a low light exposure and action setting for best coverage at night along the canal (Ugh! I didn’t realize this myself until I reviewed my pictures after the cruise was finished).

The highlight of the course was when the boat paused beneath the Ebisubashi Bridge where the Glico man billboard shines bright above. Glico is one of Japan’s largest food distributors and is popularly known for its Pocky (crunchy petite biscuit sticks covered in frosting such as chocolate or strawberry). A landmark since 1935, locals & tourists alike so often use it as a meeting spot while enjoying a takoyaki (octopus dumplings) appetizer. Across from Glico is the Asahi beer billboard. Watch closely because the colors change from solid white to yellow as the mug is topped off with “Super Dry” formula.

According to the brochure , boats depart every half hour. Infants & children are allowed; 300 yen for Elementary students. Rest your feet, wrap your arm around your sweetheart(s) and enjoy the cruise. With nine bridges, a panoramic view of Osaka Minami and the comedy of the tour guide, you’ll experience some of the best views of Downtown Osaka on the Tombori River Cruise .

The first time I came, I came to take the Dotonbori cruise ship presented by the travel coupon. Haha, I felt a little soil. The second time I bought a little clothes and cosmeceuticals. There are really too many drugstores here, but the visa didn't seem to be particularly easy to handle in the year we went, so there were not many Chinese on holiday, and Shinsaibashi was not crowded as a whole. But when shopping, the camera was out of power, and there was no photo retention.

user-icon

20mins cruise ride with guide giving a brief history explanation of the bridges and recommendation of the food along the river stretch. There are timing to the cruise so best to reach earlier for tickets otherwise you have to wait for next session. Approximate 40 pax per boat. worth the experience.

user-icon

Looking at the travel notes, many people said that they had to shoot a long team, but when we went, there was a group of people in front of us, and we kept making sure to ask the counter conductor if we had gone to the wrong place. We use the travel card, as long as you take out the travel card, you can change tickets for free. The place to change tickets is also the departure and arrival station of the sightseeing boat, which is very convenient. On the boat, you can see the crowded Dotonbori. The narrator is very enthusiastic, although I don't know what she is talking about, a good experience!

user-icon

Dotonbori, whether it is day or night, is people coming and going, many people are in line to take pictures with runners, it should be regarded as the first time to visit the photo, this area regardless of drug makeup, diet can be done at once, really want to say that the disadvantage is probably that there are too many tourists, the street is dirty, It's a few places that make me feel less like the Japanese environment.

The Best Night Tours in Osaka, Japan

Updated: Oct 31, 2019

Night Tours in Osaka

In the past couple of years, Osaka has emerged as one of the popular tourist destinations in Japan. From historical spots and religious monuments to entertainment districts and theme parks, Osaka has pretty much everything Tokyo and Kyoto have.

But what’s more fascinating about Osaka is its love for food and the locals’ distinctive humor that you can’t find anywhere else in Japan.

What better way to experience all of it than joining tours in Osaka. If you want to check out a couple of day tours in Osaka, check this out. For now, here are the best night tours in Osaka that you should check out:

1. Osaka Backstreet Night Tour

Night Tours in Osaka

If you are the type of traveler who would rather see the depths of a place, joining a backstreet tour is the way to go. Several Osaka backstreet night tours will bring you to the hidden gems of the city in a night full of food and drinking spree. Depending on the tour, this usually involves walking through the heart of Shinsaibashi, Amemura, and Namba. No need to scramble where the locals go to find the best-tasting yakitori, negiyaki, sushi, and a wide range of booze.

2. Osaka Pub Crawl

Night Tours in Osaka

For the bibulous travelers, you can always opt for a pub crawl to fully satisfy your cravings for the hard stuff. The twist? These pub crawls will you to some izakayas (“traditional bars”). Joining Osaka pub crawls will be one of the most unforgettable activities to experience — that’s for sure. Most Osaka pub crawl tours will bring you to several, probably three to five izakaya. Why join Osaka pub crawls and not do it yourself? Well, firstly, you get an English-speaking guide. Secondly, some pubs are exclusive for locals only, so having a local “friend” entitles you entry to the establishment. And thirdly, these tours usually have tie-ups with these pubs; that will get you free shots, discounts, or VIP access.

3. Osaka Bar Hopping Tour

Night Tours in Osaka

This is very much like pub crawls, except that bar-hopping tours will bring you to regular bars and clubs. Joining Osaka bar hopping tours is one of the best ways to experience the city’s vibrant nightlife and the locals’ distinctive humor and hospitality. Depending on the tour, you will visit hidden bars and clubs in the entertainment districts of Osaka such as Dotonbori and Namba. Some Osaka bar hopping tours add food tours into the bargain.

4. Osaka Night Walking Tour

Night Tours in Osaka

If you are looking for a no-frills, no-stress activity, joining a night walking tour is for you. Most Osaka night walking tours concentrate around the Dotonbori and Namba area. It’s more of a sightseeing tour and a few eats here and there. What’s good about these tours is that your guide is usually a local who knows pretty much everything about the city — from the history to the best places in Osaka. Some Osaka night walking tours are free, so be sure to tip your guides.

5. Osaka Food Tour

Would you actually end your Osaka trip without joining a food tour? Of course, not! Osaka is called “Nation’s Kitchen” so it’s unforgivable to let an Osaka food tour pass. There are a lot of areas in Osaka where you can try its most popular dishes like okonomiyaki, kushikatsu, takoyaki, negiyaki, and butaman. Osaka food tours have it in their itinerary where the best places to go and what you should try.

Rising Stars XG on New Single "Woke Up" and Rehearsing "Morning to Night" for First World Tour

Global girl group XG has been hard at work preparing for a massive second half of 2024: Their new single, "Woke Up," drops today (May 21) after they kicked off their first world tour on Saturday.

"[The tour] is something that we've been looking forward to ever since our debut," the group's leader, Jurin, told The Hollywood Reporter through a translator just days before their first show.

The seven-piece hip-hop and R&B-inspired group - made up of members Jurin, Chisa, Hinata, Harvey, Juria, Maya and Cocona - debuted in 2022 with the single "Tippy Toes," featuring a bold prediction of their future as belted by Chisa: "Understand that we didn't come to play, babe. Here to dominate."

True to those lyrics, XG (short for "Xtraordinary Girls") has been on a meteoric rise since then. The group hails from global entertainment company XGALX, which was initially created as a global artist project under Japanese entertainment conglomerate Avex in 2017.

A global audience has been the group's focus from the start. XG's discography is entirely in English. They have previously promoted within the K-Pop system, attending and performing at Korean weekly music shows (think MTV's TRL , featuring performances pre-recorded in front of live audiences and the top-charting song awarded live on-air). The group has already performed at music festivals in several different countries including the U.S., Australia and Singapore.

Following their debut single, XG and their producers have continued to experiment with new sounds. In the group's third single album, featuring songs "Left Right" and "Shooting Star," XG channeled the breezy, addicting sound of Y2K R&B girl groups, adding what has become a signature futuristic science-fiction feel with their music videos.

Their next release NEW DNA , the group's first EP, seamlessly showcased the many sides of XG with the Y2K-reminiscent summer single "New Dance" and the futuristic hip-hop heavy "GRL GVNG," which references the "female empire" that XG is trying to create.

With their new single "Woke Up," XG are continuing their creative evolution. The song marks the group's first all-rap single, which XGALX has described as "a track with 808 bass infused with sounds unique to East Asia."

As Maya puts it, all seven members of the group are portraying a different character in the single and in the music video, and each have their own main character moment. "You can see in the music video, as well," she says. "We really feel like each of us suited the characters really well."

When asked about what they were most excited for their fans, collectively known as Alphaz, to see in the music video, Maya notes the excitement around her fellow members' new looks. Several of the group members have new hair colors and styles, a sure sign to fans that a new chapter in the group's story was underway. They also expressed their excitement for fans to see all the little details of the music video, including the costumes and choreography.

On top of their many activities, the group recently collaborated with Riot Games to sing the official hype song for the Valorant Champions Tour Pacific 2024, a competitive e-sports tournament for the developer's wildly popular Valorant video game. The song "Undefeated," released in April, fits right in with XG's discography, delivering a message of throwing away one's fears and rising victorious.

"It was a good match," Juria said of the collaboration, noting that she felt the message of the song was "really, really strong."

In the midst of single releases and collaborations, XG has also been preparing for their first world tour. The tour kicked off on Saturday and Sunday with two nights in Osaka, Japan. The group then heads to Yokohama, Japan for two shows on May 25 and 26. From there, the group will tour various cities across Asia before heading to the United States in October and Europe in November, although exact details have yet to be announced.

XG has been diligent in preparing for this next step. "It was a huge goal for us, so when we first heard we were going to go on a world tour, we were just so, so happy," Jurin said.

"We're rehearsing right now to prepare, from morning to night," she continued. The 21-year-old noted that the group is putting in the hard work and that she thinks the final result will "just knock the socks off of all the Alphaz out there."

With a wide range of songs, one would assume that the members might have different songs they're excited to take on the tour. In what is perhaps a testament to their synergy as a group, after a lively and endearing discussion with one another, all seven members decided on one song they're most excited to perform on tour, answering in unison: "Left Right."

Unsurprisingly, the group is excited to see their fans from around the world on the upcoming tour. "The Alphaz are a huge motivation for a lot of what we do," Jurin explained. "Just being able to deliver the music that we make, to them, is a huge part of XG."
