Kyobashi is a town located north of Osaka Castle. It is also an area with a retro streetscape and many izakaya (Japanese pubs), and is centered around Kyobashi Station on the JR and Keihan Railway lines.
Kyobashi maintains a relatively old townscape. Inside, new and old restaurants and entertainment facilities are mixed together, forming a mysterious scene.
As soon as you step out of Kyobashi Station, the world view unfolds.
The appearance of the entertainment district of the Showa era remains, with neon lights crowded into a small area. If I were to compare it to Tokyo, it would be similar to Kamata, Omori, and Ikebukuro (west and north exits). There are pachinko, game centers, and sex shops in front of the station. It’s a scene that seems to show no concern for modern compliance, but it’s a cityscape that will get you excited for people who love entertainment districts.
Up to this point, I have introduced only the deep cityscape, so it looks like a very underground town, but at night it is also a lively place where locals enjoy drinking.
As soon as you exit Kyobashi Station, there is a shopping street with many restaurants.
There are many izakaya restaurants where you can enjoy Osaka’s famous kushikatsu and okonomiyaki, and the area is crowded every night.
It is an arcade shopping street with a roof, so you can enjoy it even in bad weather.
There are also many restaurants located outside the shopping arcade. There are many izakaya (Japanese style pubs) that are mainly privately run, so it can be hard to decide which one to go to.
Kyobashi is home to many traditional izakaya restaurants where you can enjoy cheap and delicious Japanese food.
If you’re looking for an izakaya in Kyobashi, we recommend the following restaurants.
This izakaya has been loved by locals since its establishment in 1956. If you want to eat authentic Kushikatsu from Osaka, this is recommended.
This is an izakaya that mainly serves yakitori. Its characteristic is its low price. Alcohol, yakitori, izakaya menu. All of it is cheap. But it’s definitely delicious. We especially guarantee the quality of our yakitori. It’s really delicious.

Although there are parts of the city that have a retro feel and an undeniable underground feel, the people who gather there are very civilized and the security is not bad. In fact, the locals are happily enjoying alcohol. Kyobashi at night is such an area.
There are many izakaya (izakaya), from chain stores to individual stores, making it a highly recommended place to enjoy Osaka’s delicious food with alcohol.
