Overview

Ohhhh Tokyo, with your big corporate headquarters and massive mobs of people doing very important things. And then Kyoto, with your high culture, fancy temples, gardens, and refinement. Yay. But this is OSAKA, and -- how to put it nicely? -- we don't care about your charmed lives. We care about eating. Come see (1) an upscale department store marketplace, (2) the famous Kuromon Ichiba, where delicacies raw and cooked clamor for your tongue, (3) a Japanese infused Korea Town where few tourists venture to tread, and (4) a historic neighborhood resplendent with meats, fish, vegetables, plus other staples and stupefieables catering to locals. At your side will be a native English speaking, friendly, Osaka-infused soul, eager to explain every little aspect of this big world of food. Get ready to dig in on this adventure of sights, smells, and flavors!

Itinerary

  • Takashimaya Osaka Store

    "Depachika" are department store underground food halls, and we're going to show you one of the nicest in the area. Beautiful foods of all variety are on display, be they raw ingredients, Western or Japanese sweets, or other Japanese specialties.

    20 minutes

  • Pulala Tenma

    See a local wet market up close and personal, without the tourist hordes. Local seafood, meats, vegetables, and more are all on display, and your guide will talk about how all these tasty elements come together in Japanese cuisine.

    30 minutes

  • Tenjinbashi-suji Shopping Street

    Learn about the history and modern day role of this longest covered shopping street in Japan. We'll pop into a very Osaka supermarket as well, and give you the low-down.

    40 minutes

  • Osaka Tsuruhashi Ichiba

    Explore Osaka's busiest and most interesting Korea Town. Not just food, but culturally indicative clothing and other goods are also on display for your perusal. A good chance to buy a tasty snack or two as well!

    30 minutes

  • Kuromon Market

    We'd be remiss to not show you this open market that is currently the darling of the visitor scene. Prices are a bit high here, but the sights are supreme, and the quality is most certainly there.

    25 minutes

  • Sennichimae Doguyasuji Shopping Street

    Kitchenware galore awaits you in Doguyasuji. A great place to pick up a Japanese cooking knife, wax sushi models, Japanese ceramics and other serving dishes. Tea cups and lacquer chopsticks round out a nice selection of souvenirs to take home.

    25 minutes

  • Minami (Namba)

    With any remaining time, we'll explore some of the top sights in the Namba/Dotonbori area.

Brilliant tour of Osaka food markets

Published on Oct, 2024

What a wonderful introduction to Osaka. Thomas was knowledgeable, passionate and enthusiastic about Japan and the markets and food of Osaka. We toured a range of food markets from local, Korean and more touristy markets. Thomas went out of his way to tailor our adventure for our children who were interested in moochi and gaming!!

Osaka's Food Markets Walking Tour

Published on Aug, 2024

An amazing walking tour. Not quit as anticipated. But this made it better. Full of great information and history. A lot packed within four hours.

A great way to see Osaka

Published on Jul, 2024

We loved learning about the culture of Osaka through the visit of markets. We would definitely recommend this to all. Beware - you will be doing a lot of walking - but it's worth it.

Top Notch Knowledge

Published on Jun, 2024

This was an excellent tour. My partner and I learned so much about food culture and history in Osaka. Our tour guide was extremely knowledgable. He was able to expertly answer the many questions we asked him. I don't understand some of the more negative reviews of this not being a food tour: it is what you make of it. At any point you can stop and purchase food at any of the markets you're in. I certainly did.
