Itinerary

Hozenji Yokocho

These hard to find winding, cobblestone alleys steeped with character & tradition is remarkable . We'll also find walls painted with Osaka's history etched into it.

20 minutes
Dotonbori Tsuribori

Visiting Osaka's Dotonbori River is a must.....one of our highlights. Along side this picturesque scene is a treasure trove full of more than a variety of stores to entertain you.

45 minutes
Shinsaibashi-suji Shopping Street

Japanese fashion is unique, wonderful and crazy. Also see the wacky and cool gadget stores.

20 minutes
New New Ebisubashi

The original bridge was made out of wood in the 1600's...more than 400yrs later it still stand but now made out of iron. It is at the very heart of Osaka and is known as the local meeting spot.

15 minutes
America Mura

We'll guide you to hidden streets in this area where it has Japan's version of what they think America is. hahah, it even has a statue of liberty on top of a building

15 minutes
Kuromon Market

(almost always get here on a 3hr tour..depends how fast the group walks) We'll step into some fish market stores that look unremarkable from the outside but when inside exposes seafood heaven. Watch a store cut and prepare a fugu(puffer fish). Learn how to cut a tuna.... Salmon sashimi is some of the best I've had in Japan.

15 minutes
Nipponbashi Denden Town (Pass By)

(almost always get here on a 3hr tour..depends how fast the group walks) It's tricky navigating these tucked away quirky stores. Thats what we're here for...to take you to the gaming & cosplay zone and explore your inner nerdy side hahaha
Shinsekai

(ONLY AVAILABLE ON 4HR, 5HR OR 7HR PRIVATE TOUR) We'll take you wayyy of the beaten path to discover the retro zone where the Osakan locals show their true colors. From crazy fishing restaurants to boardgame gaming shops to retro video machine arcades to old vinyl record stores.

30 minutes
Tower Knives Osaka

(ONLY ON THE 4HR OR 5HR PRIVATE TOUR) We get a private knife lesson here. Understand the whole process of how a knife is made (crafted at the rear of the building). After you'll get to experience cutting with these world famous knives of Sakai (made in the south of Osaka). This lesson is included in the price.

15 minutes
Abeno Harukas

(ONLY AVAILABLE ON 5HR OR 7HR PRIVATE TOUR) Standing an impressive and staggering 300m tall, Abeno Harukasu is Japan's tallest building (not structure or tower). Staggering!

20 minutes
Shitennoji

(ONLY AVAILABLE ON 5HR OR 7HR PRIVATE TOUR) It is the first Buddhist and oldest officially administered temple in Japan. A temple that exudes spirituality...even if you're not religious like me.

30 minutes
Osaka Castle

(ONLY AVAILABLE ON 5HR OR 7HR PRIVATE TOUR) Osaka's most notable structure. The park surrounding will also be explored mentioning its role in how it unified Japan!

1 hour 10 minutes
Morimoto Tatami Shop

(ONLY AVAILABLE ON A 7HR PRIVATE TOUR & IF ITS OPEN...OWNERS AREN'T OPEN ON SET DAYS)This concealed tatami shop off the main shopping area gives us a class on how the tatami mats are made with the igusa rush grass. Very unique experience!

15 minutes
Osaka Museum of Housing and Living

(ONLY AVAILABLE ON 7HR PRIVATE TOUR) I'm not a huge fan of museums, but this one is very different. The highlight is a reconstruction of an ancient Osaka town featuring houses, stores and homes of the wealthy & commoners.

45 minutes

Perfect way to orientate ourselves at the start of our trip to Osaka

We enjoyed a really informative tour seeing a lot of cool and different sights around the Dotombori district. We went in the morning when it wasn’t quite so busy and easier to get around. It was the perfect way to orientate ourselves at the start of a few days in Osaka!
