All about the trip

Enjoy an efficient, full-day walking tour of Osaka accompanied by a nationally-licensed, experienced guide! Your guide will help you explore Japan's second-largest city while introducing both modern and traditional sides of this colorful, dynamic metropolis.

Due to the sheer size of Osaka, Japan's second-largest city after Tokyo, you would probably focus on one small area to visit on a full-day tour, as seeing the entire city might take a couple of weeks! That said, your private guide can help you efficiently explore this colorful, dynamic metropolis.

Start your day with a morning pick-up at your hotel, then it's off to the races! Possible stops on your tour would of course include Osaka Castle and the vast park surrounding it; Dotonbori, Osaka's popular shopping and entertainment district famous for its giant Glico running man sign; and Osaka Aquarium Kaiyukan, featuring everything from jellyfish to whale sharks.

Let us know what you would like to experience and we will customize a six-hour tour that's best for you!

Note 1: Please select your must-see spots from a list in the tour information to create your customized itinerary.

Note 2: This special tour will be conducted with a public transportation and cruising taxi as stated in the tour information, NOT including private vehicle. Your guide will pick you up at the meeting point on foot. If you need a private vehicle, please feel free to ask us and we will estimate an additional cost for you.

Note 3: The Nationally-licensed Tour Guide-Interpreter certification is issued by the Japanese government requires good knowledge and understanding of Japanese culture and history.

We will take a walk through Dotonbori street with its huge billboards, hundreds of restaurants, and food stalls selling local foods including the famous Takoyaki and Okonomiyaki.

Shinsekai, the New World, with its Tsutenkaku, the Osaka Eiffel tower, kushikatsu, and Billiken, the God of wealth and money. Shinsekai is also home to Spa World, a huge bath complex with a large number of pools on a European themed floor and an Asian themed floor (enjoyed naked and gender-separated).

Osaka Castle is certainly one of the most famous landmarks in Japan, and for good reason. This five-story castle is one of the most visually spectacular creations in the country, with a history that dates back almost 450 years!
