Osaka Castle is a 1931 concrete reconstruction of Hideyoshi's fortress with a museum inside and a moat and park worth an hour; Kuromon market is the food market; Shinsekai is the retro district under Tsutenkaku tower; Umeda Sky Building has the open-air observatory. Osaka is the base for day trips to Nara, Kobe, Himeji and Koyasan, all under an hour and a half. The city is louder and cheaper than Kyoto and its people are known for it.

Traveler Reviews
Taiga is a friendly and knowledgeable guide and he brought us to a few good places that the local would know for good food and drinks. Highly recommended.
The tour was one of a kind! We enjoyed all the food we were able to try and local areas we would not have ventured on our own. Highly recommend!
My daughter and I are so grateful to experience our food tour with Haruhi! She was amazing! She made us feel like family visiting Osaka for the first time. Everything we ate was the ultimate foodie experience! Thank you so much!!!
Spent a great day with Brice who took us to places we would never have dreamed of going to. He quickly became our friend and we had a truly unique foodie experience!
Roberto was very thorough, thoughtful and efficient. We enjoyed our time together eating terrific food and trying new drinks. We learned a lot and felt like we made a friend in Osaka. I would recommend this tour.
Brice our guide was awesome and took us where the locals eat. His English was good and he was ver friendly and helpful explaining how to get around and where to go.
I wanted to have a later night type tour, so I booked it to start at 8. Turned out to be a mistake since the lines were insane for all the famous spots, and by the time we went back to try again they spots had closed. Fumiko was amazing though, and she rolled with it and found back ups that were also delicious! Loved the whole tour around Dotombori with my friend for the evening!
Amazing evening- great food, great company and we learnt loads!
It was nothing special and for that price I expected better food and also a guide which speak clear English.
We signed and paid for “street food” tour. We were taken to restaurants to eat in. That’s not what we wanted nor was that what was said when we booked. Also no information was talked about on the tour. Nothing. Very disappointing for the money we paid.
really good tour, had really good time good food!
We enjoyed our guide. She was knowledgeable about the area she took us to. We let her know we weren’t too adventurous and she respected that. We definitely got a sense of the specialties in Osaka.
