  • Mobile ticket
  • Offered in: English, French, Spanish

Overview

This is your tour if you demand a private tour with both the big sights as well as a walk on the local side. Plus, since Osaka is "Japan's Kitchen", food will be ever-present, both delightfully downmarket and astoundingly upmarket at times. In the "top sights" - no trip to Osaka is complete with a stop at Osaka Castle, but, we also dig deeper into the neighborhoods. We finish off with the famous Dotonbori, but don't leave too much time there, as we assume you will browse about the area on your own. Guide will be a native or near-native English speaker, who also speaks Japanese. We're happy to make modifications based on your specific interests (subject to additional expense) First child free! Sashiko workshop bundled extra: After morning exploration of Osaka, enjoy a self-guided break for lunch and transit the workshop. Then, you'll immerse yourself in a Sashiko Workshop. Here you’ll learn the intricate art of traditional Japanese stitching and create you own piece to take home.

Osaka walking tour

Published on May, 2025

Ferdinand was a fabulous guide who was very friendly and knowledgeable. We felt like we saw the real highlights of Osaka!

Great tour of Real Life in Osaka!

Published on May, 2025

Kevin did a great job showing us the real life of Osaka, including the must see things that all tourists need to experience. Lots of history and information on Japan and the other ethnicities that live and work in Osaka. We appreciated all of the information and the friendly manner that it was explained.

Get To Know Osaka

Published on May, 2025

A familiarity of the history and key locations of Osaka are learned on this tour. Our tour guide, Lito, is extremely knowledgeable and connected well with us. We appreciate him for taking the time to answer our questions regarding money exhange and areas interest to us. The approach with a dose of humor is much appreciated. Thank you, Lito!

Wonderful Osaka. I would do it again!

Published on Apr, 2025

Oh Osaka! Where should I start. The 4 hour walking tour, our tour guide, Oisin, knew his way around. He took us to places that most tourists would miss. The hidden gems Osaka has to offer. From the never ending food markets to the high rises that give a view from above the city. At night we continued to the food tour. What a blast! The food was awesome as well as the places. Needless to say Oisin revealed to us many of the secrets Osaka keeps. Highly recommended!!!

Loved it.
