Full Description

This tour is perfect for travelers who want to visit all of Osaka’s must-see locations efficiently in one day.

Osaka was once the capital of Japan and flourished in the 16th century as a commercial hub. Today, it’s Japan’s second-largest metropolitan area and offers a unique culture distinct from Tokyo—including a world-famous food scene and comedy heritage.

You’ll begin with a breathtaking view of the city from the Umeda Sky Building, then explore the samurai-era legacy of Osaka Castle. In Dotonbori, enjoy Osaka’s best local dishes and experience the buzzing entertainment district. Visit the historic Shitenno-ji Temple, the oldest officially administered temple in Japan, and finish your day soaking up the retro charm of Shinsekai.
