A Word of Caution Before Exploring Osaka's Gay Cruising Spots
There have been reports of some individuals attempting to harass or expose gay individuals in public spaces, including secretly filming and uploading footage to YouTube or TikTok. Additionally, security patrols have been increased in the area. As a result, the local gay community prefers to keep information about these cruising spots relatively private to avoid disruption.
Whether you encounter any opportunities for connection often depends on individual luck and circumstances. Many Japanese people may also not be particularly interested in interacting with foreigners. To avoid impacting others, we kindly request that you maintain a low profile during your explorations.
