Itinerary

1. Osaka Castle
We begin our tour from Osaka Castle. It’s one of the most iconic spot of great historical significance in Osaka. We’ll traverse the park grounds, too, all the while talking about the history, architecture, and significance of the spot. Historically, the castle’s reconstruction has been somewhat indifferent, and we would recommend considering other options instead. Trust us. We spend about 75 minutes here.
Duration: 75 mins
2. Osaka Tsuruhashi Ichiba
This area is known as Koreatown, celebrated for its exquisite yakiniku (grilled meat enjoyed at the table). However, we invite you to explore deeper. Tsuruhashi is a fascinating maze of small shops, food stalls, and restaurants, presenting an architecturally striking mix. Let us delve into the hidden history of Osaka together.
Duration: 30 mins
3. Abeno Harukas
Tennoji is home to the impressive Harukas, the tallest non-tower building in Japan, standing at 300 meters. This remarkable height offers stunning views of the surrounding area. While we in Osaka have heard about a tower in Tokyo that reaches biblical heights, we prefer to focus on our own attractions. We will not ascend to the very top of Harukas, but we will go high enough to enjoy a breathtaking view of Osaka, free of charge. On a clear day, we may even glimpse all the way to Kobe and beyond. We highly recommend taking a guided tour of the department store food hall, where we typically spend about half an hour exploring.
Duration: 30 mins
4. Shinsekai
Fun for all ages! This area retains the charming old-world streetscape of Osaka. You can enjoy games, food, and fashion (perhaps heavily skewed toward the eye of the beholder), along with the unique atmosphere that defines Osaka. Don't forget to visit the iconic Tsutenkaku Tower and immerse yourself in the lively, heartfelt spirit of this city. Our typical visit here usually lasts about 30 minutes.
Duration: 30 mins
5. Namba
Most likely, you will spend some time exploring this area on your own, so on our Osaka walking tour, we typically allocate around 30 minutes here. However, if you have a keen interest in visiting Kuromon Market, which, although quite touristy, offers an impressive selection of high-quality food items, we would be happy to accommodate that. Alternatively, you may want to explore Doguyasuji, our restaurant supply district. This area features not only wax food models and large pots but also a variety of goods that cater to everyday needs. If you’re looking for one of the region’s famous kitchen knives, this is an excellent place to find one. You will also discover a wide array of Japanese ceramics, teacups, chopsticks, and similar items here. Otherwise, we will guide you through some charming backstreets around Hozenji Yokocho, before proceeding to Dotonbori itself.
