Packed with bars and clubs, Doyamacho is the heart of Osaka’s LGBTQ+ scene, and Explosion is the club to seek out when you’re looking to party through the night. Shows, DJ gigs and other events usually take place on the weekends, attracting a wild but friendly crowd, while weekdays see the cover charge dropped and the space turned into a glam bar with very reasonably priced drinks.
