This tour was more than I could have ever imagined. First of all, our guide, Hiro, was amazing. She made us feel so comfortable, spoke great English, and supported all of our intentions. My wife has a severe, anaphylactic food allergy. So safety is our number one concern. Hiro went above and beyond speaking to every store owner to check for the potential allergen. We felt comfortable eating the food knowing it was safe. The food tour took us through old streets where the locals tend to spend more of their time. Stopping and getting food all along the way, and explaining about each food. Then we continued through the newer areas ending up in the bustle of Dotonbori. If you’re wondering if you’ll eat a lot of food, the answer is a clear yes. As someone who loves food and probably eats more than I need to, I was worried it wouldn’t be much. But we ate sushi, takoyaki, pork buns, croquettes, candied strawberries, udon noodles, seaweed candy, teriyaki chicken sticks, bean curd, fish cakes and more. It was a lot of food!! If you’re looking for a food tour, this is THE tour to go on.

Hiro was such a fantastic tour guide!! She met us right at the train station and for the entire three hours filled our day with great food, great sights, and great insight into Osaka’s history and culture! She put lots of effort into making the tour very personal for us and showed off food ranging from local snack favorites to delicious meals and drinks. Even after the tour, Hiro’s hospitality did not stop, offering up recommendations for the rest of our time in Osaka and Kyoto. 5 stars and the highest recommendation to anyone considering!!

This tour was even better than we imagined it would be. It was our first visit to Japan, and it can be overwhelming to find your way in these big cities. The tour was designed to show us some local hotspots, giving us an anchor to help explore on our own later. The food selection was exactly what we wanted. Instead of tourist traps, we visited long time establishments and tried food that locals eat, or had cultural significance. Everything we tasted was delicious!! Our tour guide, Hiro, was extremely friendly and knowledgeable about the area. Her English is excellent and she had answers to all of our questions about the area, the food, and the history of Osaka. Even after the conclusion of the tour, she continued to guide us with restaurant and shopping recommendations- even going so far as to find and reserve us a high end sushi dinner. Highly, highly recommend this tour, especially if it's your first time to Osaka.
