Amerikamura, with its many live music venues, movie theaters, and apparel shops, is known as one of the most vibrant cultural centers of Osaka. FARPLANE, a bar that opened there in 2007, has become popular thanks to its bewitching atmosphere that makes you feel as if you were stepping into a different world. It has emerged as a place of cultural exchange where people of all origins gather every day.

FARPLANE first opened its doors in 2005 as an apparel shop that sold radical ornaments and various items. With its unique aesthetic world of “fetish pop,” which combines mysteriousness and cuteness, the shop enlivened the culture of Amerikamura. Currently, the establishment has shifted its operations to bar business only, and the store has been arranged with sexually themed objects and interior decorations. While illuminated by the captivating lighting, our guests enjoy their drinks under the kind hospitality of our uniquely dressed staff, all within a one-of-a-kind, homely yet exciting environment.

At FARPLANE, their motto is to live their lives refusing to be bound by general ideas or prejudices, and to welcome all customers. They impose no dress code or entrance charges, so even casual visitors can feel free to stop by. However, as their business operates as a regular bar, please be careful not to disturb public policy and morals or to act too recklessly.

FARPLANE has created a fetish aesthetic world. While it has sensual and sexual nuances, it also conveys a call to open your hearts and enjoy life with a strong personal sense of fashion and lifestyle. Customers can enjoy self-expression, as well as their drinks, without worrying about age, sexuality, or social position, and spend their time as they please.

The bar is also equipped with pole dance equipment and a stage, and they regularly hold shows. Entertainment is provided by a variety of performers, including dancers and singers. Their activities also extend beyond the bar: they hold their annual FARPLANE NIGHT at a large live music venue. It has become one of the largest fetish events in the Kansai region, attracting vast amounts of visitors every year.

They opened their second store in March 2021 on the Shinsaibashi Neon Restaurant Street, on the second basement floor of Shinsaibashi PARCO. The pop-styled and sexy space stands out from across the entire floor, with the staff wearing unique uniforms as they welcome you.

The Shinsaibashi bar  operates from 5:00 p.m., and if you ask the staff, you can have food delivered to or brought in from other stores in Shinsaibashi Neon Restaurant Street. Unlike the Amerikamura bar, this one closes at 11 p.m. and requires a ¥1,000 entrance fee.

Enjoy FARPLANE, a different world of rich, vibrant colors that will extend in front of your eyes in Amerikamura. Although you may feel intimidated as you first approach, once you step inside, its surprisingly deep comfort will reach you. You will want to come back time and time again. If you want to get out of your everyday life and are looking for unfamiliar stimulation, visit the second store on Shinsaibashi PARCO.
