Full Description
This tour offers a serene, crowd-free experience of Osaka before the city fully wakes up.
Start your day by visiting Sumiyoshi Taisha, a prominent shrine known for its unique architecture and spiritual atmosphere. With fewer visitors in the early morning, you’ll be able to take in its beauty in peace.
Next, ride a historic tram—the last remaining streetcar in Osaka—toward Shinsekai, an old entertainment district filled with nostalgia and retro charm. Along the way, get a glimpse of old Osaka neighborhoods and local life.
At Shinsekai, walk past iconic landmarks like Tsutenkaku Tower, and depending on your preference, enjoy a local café breakfast or continue to Shitennoji Temple to explore its ancient Buddhist heritage. This flexibility makes it ideal for travelers who want a meaningful start to their day before other plans.
Whether you’re an early riser or looking to fill a quiet morning before another tour, this is a refreshing and cultural way to experience Osaka.
