Overview

This 3-hour Osaka Night Food Tour will take you on an unforgettable eating excursion through the busy streets and the hidden, less frequented parts of Minami (South) Osaka. Starting on the bright and busy Doutonburi area we will learn about Glico man, a Filipino sprinter named Fortunato Catalon who inspired a nation and a company! Similar to Shibuya (its counterpart in Tokyo) the lights and sounds of Dotounburi often lead you astray to overly-commercialized restaurants with queues of tourists outside. We want to take our guests to places they would certainly miss without a localā€™s guidance. We will take secret alleys not long after we begin the tour toward the shrine wedged out of sight from the average passerby.

A great time for first timers.

Published on Nov, 2024

Our tour was great. Sebastian was engaging and informative. We went around to enough places to get a nice sampling of the area and the local food, but not so many that we were exhausted. The food choices were wonderful. We'd definitely do another tour in the future.

Tasting interesting and off the beaten track

Published on Nov, 2024

Absolutely fantastic food tour with Kevin. He managed to exceed our expectations which were already quite high after 7 weeks touring. The food was delicious and his knowledge of the area amazing. Kevin led us down alley ways which were well off the tourist trail. Making us feel like guests not simply customers it was a great evening. Strongly recommend both Kevin and Arigato tours.

Great food tour with Kevin!

Street food tour of Osaka with Sebastian

Published on Nov, 2024

A memorable experience with Sebastian helping us navigate the best of Osaka's street food, including great veggie options for me, which can be a challenge! He was very friendly and informative, we really enjoyed our evening.

Great tour, well spoken guide, very knowledgeable of the food and area

Published on Nov, 2024

Noriyuki was so knowledgeable about the food. I would never have found the restaurants or ate the food offered if I hadn't gone on this tour. A great chance to ask about the dishes, with a guide that spoke excellent English
