Tour Highlights

“Top 20 Experiences in Asia 2025″ according to Trip Advisor & Viator respectively for Hotspots & Hidden Gems Tours!

What To Expect

Get tons of recommendations of my favourite places to eat, and what else to see, so get ready to dive deep into Osaka-ben culture!
You will also get an insightful understanding of everyday Japanese customs, including topics that local guides may not be comfortable letting visitors know about, so please ask me any questions!
Slip through the non-touristy bar zones of Osaka, and even get a glimpse of a Yakuza clubhouse (it’s safe and we’ll just walk past it).
We’ll check out a traditional food market where top chefs continue to shop at everyday (daytime tours only).
We’ll contrast that by ducking into quiet cobblestoned back alleys to uncover a mystic temple and its centuries-old history.Be prepared for a sensory overload as we navigate wacky larger-than-life billboards highlighting modern Japanese culture. You’ll get to hear plenty of interesting stories about Osaka along the way & get some fantastic photo opportunities.
