“Very rainy visit”
Osaka does not have a history as rich and varied as Tokyo. It is therefore less easy to find facets to share with tourists. Thanks to Mouloud for his support.

Mouloud H.
Thank you Philippe for your review. I am glad you appreciated my support. Osaka does have a rich history and monuments from the 3rd Century and before (available to see in other tours), however the tour you booked is focused on the modern side of the city for 4 hours. We also visited Tsuyunoten Jinja, which dates from the 9th century. I hope you enjoyed Osaka during your trip.
