Spend the day with one of our hosts to discover the true nature of Osaka - head’s up, it’s got a wild sense of humor and is obsessed with food. Explorer (not tourist) is what we’re aiming for here, and in that spirit, you could explore neighborhoods like the fashionable Shinsaibashi or crazy Dotonbori and maybe you’ll discover hidden gems like the smaller shrines and historic streets. Grab a quick bite to eat and see why Osaka is known as the ‘Nation’s Kitchen’ before continuing your adventure through the neon streets of this enigmatic port city. Within 24 hours after booking you'll receive a short questionnaire about your personality and interests. Based on your responses, you'll be assigned a like-minded host. Your host will communicate with you directly to suggest an itinerary to help you discover what makes the city unique. You'll also agree on a meeting time and place. Your itinerary is flexible, so during the experience, you can always change your mind about what you want to do

This plan is recommended for those who want to visit Osaka's popular tourist spots efficiently. Osaka is a place with a deep history, having once been the capital of Japan. After Osaka Castle was built in the late 16th century, water transportation and other transportation networks were developed, and Osaka developed as a commercial town. Even today, it is the second largest city after Tokyo, and has characteristics that differentiate it from other regions, mainly in terms of food culture and comedy. Enjoy Osaka to the fullest with a tour packed with all of Osaka's highlights. [Standard tour visit spot] ・ Umeda Sky Building ・ Osaka Castle ・ Kuromon Market ・ Dotonbori ・ Shitenno-ji Temple ・ Shin-sekai area

Great tour, skip the ramen.
Our guide was great and flexible to allow us to get water and use the restroom when needed. My only complaint is that the ramen restaurant was really dirty and unclean. I would prefer to find my own food.
