Abeno Harukas
Standing 300 meters tall, Abeno Harukas (あべのハルカス) in Osaka was the tallest skyscraper in Japan from its completion in 2014 until 2023. The building stands on top of the Kintetsu Osaka Abenobashi Station and is conveniently located across from JR Tennoji Station. It houses a department store, an art museum, a hotel and an observation deck.
Osaka Museum of History
The Osaka Museum of History (大阪歴史博物館, Ōsaka Rekishi Hakubutsukan) opened in 2003 in a tall building next to NHK Osaka and just across the street from Osaka Castle. The building offers excellent views of the castle from its top floors.
The museum exhibits are visually oriented with several large models. They chronicle the city's history, beginning in ancient times when Osaka served as Japan's first capital and site of the Naniwa Palace and ending with exhibits on the city's bustling shopping arcades of the early Showa Period.
Osaka castle
The construction of Osaka Castle (大阪城, Ōsakajō) started in 1583 on the former site of the Ishiyama Honganji Temple, which had been destroyed by Oda Nobunaga thirteen years earlier. Toyotomi Hideyoshi intended the castle to become the center of a new, unified Japan under Toyotomi rule. It was the largest castle at the time.
Dotonbori
The lively entertainment area of Dotonbori is Osaka’s most famous tourist destination and renowned for its gaudy neon lights, extravagant signage, and the enormous variety of restaurants and bars.

Osaka Tour Reviews
“Kyoto tour”
We were very limited with our stay in Kyoto but our guide Tad made sure that we saw the main highlights of Kyoto. Tad would have to be one of the kindest and most thoughtful guides we have experienced. Tad has an excellent knowledge of local history, very patient and extremely flexible, he is also very passionate about Kyoto and transmits this passion very well. His great command of the English language together with his professionalism and great sense of humour made our Kyoto stopover the highlight of our Japan experience. I highly recommend Tad as an exceptional tour guide.
“Incredible tour with Tad. ”
We booked the tour with Tad a month ago and he’s very responsive to all of our questions before the tour. He took us through many narrow streets in Dotonbori area and shared the culture and history to us, we learned so much from Tad. We also visited three different local eateries, and they were amazing. Each one gave us a different taste and experience. We had such a wonderful time. Tad’s English was incredible. He’s very friendly and answered all the questions we had. Thank you very much for a wonderful tour, and gave us an unforgettable memory. We highly recommend this tour with Tad!!!
