Activity itinerary

America Mura
  • 20m
Dive straight into Osaka's vibrant youth culture at America Mura (or Amemura as we locals lovingly call it)! It's more than just a neighborhood; it's the heartbeat of urban fashion, street art, and hip-hop vibes. Here, we'll stop for a mouthwatering takoyaki tasting—because you can't truly know Osaka without savoring these sizzling bites!
Dotonbori Tsuribori
  • 20m
Prepare yourself for the dazzling lights and endless food stalls of Dotonbori! Home to the iconic Glico Running Man sign, it's the ultimate selfie spot in Osaka. We'll navigate the mouthwatering chaos of street food—think takoyaki, kushikatsu, and so much more—as you soak in the dynamic atmosphere that embodies the city's motto, "Eat till you drop!"
Shinsaibashi
  • 20m
Shinsaibashi isn't just another shopping street—it's the lively pulse of Osaka nightlife, buzzing with energy from dusk till dawn. As we stroll through, I'll reveal a hidden secret spot right in plain sight, a fascinating place that even locals often miss, adding a layer of intrigue to our journey.
Hozenji Yokocho
  • 30m
Step into Hozenji Yokocho, a charming lantern-lit alleyway that feels untouched by time. Here, we'll dive into an authentic and uncensored look at Japan’s spiritual traditions, right next to the moss-covered Buddhist statue at Hozen-ji Temple. Feel the history beneath your feet on the cobblestone path, a quiet escape from the city’s modern buzz.
Kuromon Market
  • 1h
Kuromon Market, affectionately known as "Osaka's Kitchen," has been serving hungry locals and visitors for over 200 years. We'll head straight to my favorite okonomiyaki spot, where you'll taste the savory pancake that defines Osaka comfort food. It's a sensory feast of sights, smells, and flavors, capturing the true spirit of this culinary capital.
Nipponbashi Denden Town (Pass by)
Enter DenDen Town, Osaka’s electrifying district for all things anime, gaming, and quirky gadgets! This buzzing otaku paradise is packed with colorful shops and energetic streets. Whether you're a tech enthusiast or just curious about Japan’s fascinating pop-culture scene, there’s always something intriguing here to captivate your imagination.
Tower Knives Osaka (Pass by)
Tower Knives is a small knife shop near Tsutenkaku Tower that specializes in high-quality Japanese kitchen knives. The staff are friendly and knowledgeable, and you can often see a live demonstration of how the knives are used or sharpened. It’s a great place to learn about Japanese craftsmanship and what makes these knives special. Whether you’re into cooking or just curious, it’s an interesting and authentic local stop.
Shinsekai
  • 30m
Wander through Shinsekai, a delightfully retro district that transports you back to vintage Osaka. Its vibrant neon-lit streets, nostalgic eateries, and the iconic Tsutenkaku Tower offer a glimpse into the city’s charming past. Here, every corner whispers stories of a bygone era waiting for you to explore.
Nishinari Dobutsuen-mae Deep Osaka Street
  • 30m
If the group insist: Finally, experience Osaka’s raw authenticity in Nishinari, a neighborhood that locals refer to as the city's underworld. Here, you'll truly feel the pulse of real Osaka—edgy, genuine, and unapologetically itself. This is where stories come alive, offering a rare glimpse into the heart of the city that most tourists never see.
Osaka Castle
  • 30m
For Private tours only: Rising proudly above its massive stone walls, Osaka Castle once symbolized the ambition of Toyotomi Hideyoshi, the man who nearly unified Japan. Built in 1583, it withstood wars, fires, and time, standing today as a testament to Japan’s samurai past. Walk its historic grounds, hear the echoes of battles fought, and take in breathtaking city views from the top.
Osaka Ukiyoe Museum (Pass by)
For Private tours only: This small museum in central Osaka features original Japanese woodblock prints from the Edo period, known as ukiyo-e. One of the highlights is an authentic print of The Great Wave off Kanagawa by Hokusai — one of the most iconic images in Japanese art. You’ll also see prints of kabuki actors, daily life, and landscapes. It’s a quick, quiet stop that gives you a glimpse into traditional Japanese art and culture.
Abeno Harukas (Pass by)
For Private tours only: Abeno Harukas is the tallest skyscraper in Japan, standing 300 meters high. It has an observation deck with panoramic views of Osaka — on a clear day, you can even see all the way to Kyoto and Nara. Inside, there’s also a department store, restaurants, a hotel, and an art museum. Whether you want to shop, relax, or just enjoy the view, it’s a nice mix of local life and city scenery in one place.
Osaka Museum of Housing and Living (Pass by)
For Private tours only: This museum lets you step back in time and walk through life-size recreations of Osaka streets from the Edo period. You can see how people used to live, shop, and dress centuries ago. There are also seasonal decorations and occasional kimono rental options for photos.
