Additional info

Please select a tour date
Wear comfortable shoes – This is a true walking tour that covers a lot of ground, from castle stones to market alleys to shopping arcades. Expect to walk around 12,000 steps over the day. We travel like locals using Osaka’s efficient subway system, so we provide you with a subway pass. Come hungry – Kuromon Market is full of tempting street food like grilled scallops, sea urchin, wagyu skewers, and fluffy tamagoyaki. Bring small change and an adventurous palate. Ukiyo-e workshop gets inky – You’ll be handling real woodblocks and ink during the ukiyo-e experience, so wear clothes you’re not too precious about—or roll up your sleeves and channel your inner Edo artist. Weather check – Osaka weather can shift quickly, so bring a compact umbrella or rain jacket, especially in spring and summer. In the hotter months, sunscreen and a small towel will be your best friends. Dotonbori can get crowded – We’ll guide you through the most photogenic spots (yes, including the Glico sign) and share some quieter backstreets nearby where locals actually hang out. Got questions? Ask! – Our guides are Osaka-savvy and love chatting about everything from weird vending machines to Osaka slang. Don’t be shy—we love sharing the city’s quirks.
