Overview

This is your tour if you demand a private tour with both the big sights as well as a walk on the local side. Plus, since Osaka is “Japan's Kitchen”, food will be ever-present, both delightfully downmarket and astoundingly upmarket at times.

In the “top sights” - no trip to Osaka is complete with a stop at Osaka Castle, but, we also dig deeper into the areas. We finish off with the famous Dotonbori, but don't leave too much time there, as we assume you will browse about the area on your own.

Guide will be a native or near-native English speaker, who also speaks Japanese. We're happy to make modifications based on your specific interests (subject to additional expense)

First child free!

Sashiko workshop bundled extra:
After morning exploration of Osaka, enjoy a self-guided break for lunch and transit the workshop. Then, you'll immerse yourself in a Sashiko Workshop. Here you’ll learn the intricate art of traditional Japanese stitching and create you own piece to take home.

Activity itinerary

Osaka Castle
  • 1h
We think the park Osaka Castle is in, and the exterior of the castle are splendid and rewarding to visit. The tired, poorly designed non-castle interior: Not so much. So we don't go in. Trust us, you're not missing anything.
Osaka Tsuruhashi Ichiba
  • 30m
Explore this fabulous time-warp of a market, where fashion, food, and culture noisily collide and birth something wonderful. There's not much pre-war Osaka left to explore, but this is a champion of a local sight. It also highlights the Korean influence on the city.
Abeno Harukas
  • 30m
So, we don't pay the money to go to the very top of the building, but we know a way to get almost as good a view without waiting in line, and without paying a shiny yen for the privilege either. Afterwards, we go down underground and explore the mysteries of the Japanese department store food hall and markets area. Ready for the most expensive melon you've ever seen? Look but don't touch :)
Shinsekai
  • 30m
This entertainment district dating back around a hundred years has all sorts of sights in store for you, some shiny, and some with a rather worn patina. Both are lots of fun to take in. It's a boisterous centre of Osaka culture, and for good reason!
Dotombori District
  • 30m
Sure, we want to show you the less touristed parts of Osaka on this tour, but we'd be remiss to not show you the famous "running man" and Dotonbori at large. But we also take you down some small backstreets even here, and we've got a few interesting stories to tell you as well.
