Full Description
Experience Osaka like never before on this immersive street art and neighborhood bike tour. Departing from the quiet neighborhood of Tenma, this tour dives deep into the lesser-seen sides of the city—beyond tourist hotspots and temple visits.
Cycle across the impressive Yodo River into Juso, a gritty, unpolished neighborhood known for its thriving street art culture. Your guide, a local resident, will share stories about the artists and movements that have brought color and creativity to the city’s concrete walls.
Stop by a standing bar and a specialty coffee shop hidden in the backstreets before pedaling onward to Nakazaki-cho, a neighborhood bursting with creative energy. Explore boutique shops, galleries, and a repurposed 100-year-old building that now serves New York-style pizza slices.
Throughout the ride, you’ll experience a mix of industrial beauty, graffiti walls, riverbanks, and Osaka’s skyline from unique vantage points. This tour is ideal for urban explorers, street art lovers, and curious travelers seeking a local perspective.

Reviews
“Fantastic! A great way to see an off-the-beaten-track view of Osaka. The art was incredible, and Eric was very knowledgeable. We loved the snacks along the way. I just wish we had a pamphlet afterward to remember all the great info!”
“Our family really enjoyed the tour with Matt. Riding bikes allowed us to see much more of Osaka than walking would have. The pace was great, and the stops were well-chosen.”
