Japan · OSAKA TOURS
Osaka is a food city that also has a castle. The 15 below eat their way down Dotonbori, climb the keep, and cover the day trips west, each priced and rated by the people who actually went.
Drive Osaka’s streets in a one-hour go kart in a funny costume, with gear, insurance, and fuel included, plus photo stops around Namba and Dotonbori.
“The karts were a real fun way to see the streets of Osaka! It draws a lot of attention but most people don’t mind. Recommend going at night time, less traffic and the lights are unforgettable!”
Skip the line at Osaka Castle with a QR ticket that includes the Main Tower and the Toyotomi Ishigaki Museum.
“Really enjoyed exploring the castle. An audio guide would have been even better but everything had English subtitles”
Osaka Shinsekai food tour with 13 to 15 dishes at 5 local spots, plus 2 drinks, in a 3 hour small group walk.
“Bernie was awesome. So personable and gave us great explanations about the food and all the cool spots we went to. Highly recommend!”
Osaka Shinsekai food tour with 13 dishes and 2 drinks across 5 local spots, guided by a small group, about 3 hours.
“Our guide, Kiko, was very friendly and we appreciated his efforts to make the tour a fun experience - including through fun detours to entertain the kids in between restaurant stops at local arcades in Shinsekai. Our only issue is we wish we had been informed that the cuisine is pretty much entirely fried food, and did not have variety. On other food tours we've been on, each stop had a different local specialty. If you like fried food, this will be a great tour for you. Unfortunately, we can't handle much of it!”
Hungry Osaka Street Food Tour in Shinsekai, 15+ tastings and 3 drinks in 3 hours with a local guide and historic neighborhood stops.
“This is legit the best food tour I've ever done. From the get go, Andy was engaging, funny, punctual and comfortable handling a group of strangers. He made it feel like we were all mates on a night out in Osaka. The food stops were perfectly curated and each stop prepares you for the next dish. Andy's love for Osaka comes through strongly through his masterful storytelling of Japan's feudal past and its recent post war history. He tells it like it is. He made sure we all had a good time and included stops that you would never find on your own. It was great to meet some locals…”

“Really enjoyed the Botanical Garden in Osaka, great installations and thoroughly enjoyable evening activity! Highly recommend if you are in town”

Hands-on Osaka sushi class near Dotonbori. Learn nigiri and maki from English-speaking instructors, eat what you make, small groups.
