About the Host

Highlights

Visit five of Osaka's top sights in four hours with a small group of up to 8 people: Osaka Castle, Shitennoji, Shinsekai, Kuromon Market and Dotonbori. A local guide shares the history and background of each place in English, so it is much more than a quick photo stop. Travel on foot and by subway to feel the energy of Kuromon Market, known as "Osaka's Kitchen," and the neon-lit atmosphere of Dotonbori. One cold drink such as matcha or mixed juice is also included.

Program

Start the tour at Osaka Castle
and Hokoku Shrine

Meet your guide at the meeting point of your selected option and ride the subway to Osaka Castle. Spend about 50 minutes exploring the castle grounds, taking photos and hearing stories such as why today's castle looks so different from the fortress that once stood here. Then visit Hokoku Shrine with your guide. Entry to the Osaka Castle main tower is optional, and the admission fee (about 1,200 yen) is paid separately.

Discover retro Osaka
in Shinsekai and at Tsutenkaku

Take the subway to Shinsekai and enjoy about 20 minutes of strolling, shopping and photos. Your guide explains the background of this district and its retro atmosphere. At Shinsekai Market there is a tea-tasting experience, which may cost extra. You will also see Tsutenkaku, a symbol of Osaka.

Visit Shitennoji,
one of Japan's oldest temples

Ride the subway again to Shitennoji and explore for about 30 minutes. Learn from your guide how this ancient Buddhist temple is still part of local daily life.

Pass through Kuromon Market
and finish in Dotonbori

Spend about 20 minutes at Kuromon Market, known as "Osaka's Kitchen," where you can browse and taste street food and local snacks. Then walk to Dotonbori and finish the tour among its neon signs and giant billboards. At the end, your guide shares personal recommendations for food, shopping and things to do.
