Full Description

Uncover the best of Osaka in one unforgettable day, guided by a local expert fluent in English (or Spanish). This immersive experience combines centuries of history with modern energy, from tranquil temples to bustling markets.

Your journey begins at Osaka Castle, one of Japan’s most iconic landmarks, surrounded by sprawling gardens. Learn about the life of Toyotomi Hideyoshi and the role the castle played in unifying Japan during the 16th century.

Continue to Shitennoji Temple, the oldest Buddhist temple in Japan, dating back to 593 AD. Wander its peaceful grounds and see the striking five-story pagoda. Then, visit the nearby Isshin-ji Temple, famous for its statues made using the ashes of deceased worshippers—a moving tribute to Buddhist beliefs.

Head into Shinsekai, a nostalgic district filled with neon lights and deep-fried delights like kushikatsu. Don’t miss a photo opportunity at the towering Tsutenkaku Tower.

For pop culture lovers, the next stop is Nipponbashi Den Den Town, the epicenter of anime, manga, and gaming goods in Osaka. Dive into stores filled with collectibles and fan-favorite merchandise.

Then, explore Kuromon Ichiba Market, a favorite among foodies. Sample fresh seafood, sushi, wagyu beef, and Osaka’s famous street foods, all under one roof.

The tour wraps up in Namba and Dotonbori, the heart of Osaka’s nightlife. See the glowing Glico Man, the iconic Kani Doraku crab, and take in the lively, energetic vibe that defines the city.
