Overview

This 3-hour Osaka Food Tour in the famous foodie neighborhood of Dotonbori & Namba will take you on an unforgettable eating excursion through the busy streets and the hidden, less frequented parts of Minami (South) Osaka. The tour kicks off in the busy Dotonbori area where 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 sights 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 local guidance. We will take secret alleys not long after we begin the tour toward the shrine hidden from sight for the average passerby.

Insightful, tasty, fun food tour of Dotonbori in Osaka

Published on Dec, 2024

Our Traveledge travel advisor booked this tour for our party of eight friends and world travelers. Highly recommended! We met our guide, Mickey, by the Glico Man in the busiest intersection of the lively neighborhood of Dotonbori. She led us off the main thoroughfares and promenades with the zany and colorful neon lights and advertising to smaller alleys and side streets. We sampled skewers at one stop, sushi at another, and a complete lunch with tempura and yakitori in a small restaurant up narrow stairs, with excellent service. Mickey packed a lot of information into our tour and was a cheerful, highly skilled, and friendly guide.

Food tour through Dotonbori taking in food amongst the new and historical area

Published on Dec, 2024

Excellent, informative tour from guide Chiyoe who even offered to take my wife who was unable to attend, on the following day. A great introduction to the wide variety of typical Japanese foods in the vibrant Dotonbori area, favourite was the Tokoyaki - 'Oishi desu'

A Great Food Experience

Published on Nov, 2024

Kevin was a first class guide for our food tour. With just the three of us it was a very personal experience. We learnt about both the food but also more about the Japanese culture. We not only visited a variety of food experiences but also a few other cultural places of interest. I'll not say we enjoyed everything we ate but that was about our taste - we tried a number of foods we would not have ordered in a restaurant and some we enjoyed! One of the restaurant/bars he took us to became a 'favourite' and we revisited it on a couple of occasions to eat: we would never have found it without Kevin!
