Full description
This is a 4.5-hour experience in Osaka. It is run by InKansai Ltd, an operator we book with directly rather than through a reseller, which is why we can hold your place with them before we treat your booking as final.
Osaka is Japan's kitchen: the city that invented takoyaki, okonomiyaki and kushikatsu, and Dotonbori's canal of neon signs is where it eats them. 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.
The price covers Bike, Helmet, Bike tour, guide and Pizza slice. It does not cover Hotel pickup and drop-off and Gratuities, so budget for those separately. Everything included is listed in full on this page; if something is not on that list, assume it is not in the price.
InKansai Ltd sends the meeting point and time by email as soon as the booking is confirmed. We need at least one day's notice, and we confirm the date with InKansai Ltd before treating your booking as final. If they cannot take your date we tell you and refund you rather than leave you waiting.

This is a must if you are visiting Osaka. Eric was such a gracious host - it didn’t even feel like a tour. Not only did we get to see fantastic murals, we also got to experience true Osaka - from a hip coffee house, a dive snack bar (go Dodgers!) and finally some of the best pizza we’ve ever had at Hughes Pizza. Such a great way to spend a day with our new friend…and learn all about the artists. (the bikes were great too!)
Great bike and great tour. It is a nice way to see the street art and the real Osaka life. Joel was a very good guide, a lot of good info and helpful on all questions. Good food and drink as well.
Amazing urban art work, Eric was a fantastic guide who has a passion for the art displays and great knowledge of the works.
Thanks Eric. The tour was fantastic. We really appreciated that you knew most of the artists as well as being one of them yourself. The murals were all very different and interesting. The bikes were in good condition. I really enjoyed visiting the old Japanese store/bar. The tour covered many different scenes from green, river, busy streets and shops. Would definitely recommend.

Unique experience and best guide, definitely worth trying.
Die Tour hat richtig Spaß gemacht. Es war schön das Osaka der Locals zu sehen und nicht nur die Hotpots.
Fantastisch! Ruben wist op een hele leuke en toegankelijke manier te vertellen over alle kunstwerken. En vertelde ook veel over Osaka. Super leuk ook de afwerking met de koffie, de mochi en de pizza punten! Een aanrader!
Extraordinary journey to discover some decidedly little-known neighborhoods of Osaka and especially street art. Thanks to Joel artist photographer wonderful guide !
the tour was fantastic, awesome guide and the street art is like nothing I've seen before, zipping around the streets of osaka on a bike was a blast too!
Wir waren zu dritt unterwegs. Unser guide Ruben hat sich für uns Zeit genommen alle Fragen zu streetart, aber auch zu Osaka und Japan zu beantworten. Es blieb genügend Zeit alle Werke zu fotografieren und in einem guten Tempo sicher die 23 km zu radeln. Die Tour gibt einen prima Einblick in ein anderes Osaka - fernab des Trubels, Leuchtreklame und Hochhäusern. Kleine Pausen mit Kaffee; ineiner Bar und Pizzeria waren eine gute Stärkung auf der fast 4h Tour. Vielen Dank Ruben für die bunte Streetart-Zeit!
Fantastic! A great way to see an ‘off-the-beaten-track’ view of Osaka. The art was incredible and Eric was very knowledgeable. We loved the little snacks stood along the way too - all wonderful places. Great day out. The only thing I would say is I would have loved a little pamphlet at the end with the info Eric told us about the different artworks - I can never remember the interesting facts later! Haha.
