Exploring the Holy Land of Kitchen Tools: Doguyasuji

Osaka is known as “the nation’s kitchen” and “the city of kuidaore” (eating until you drop). It became a hub for trading ingredients from all over Japan. With this rich background, Osaka has nurtured a diverse and vibrant food culture.


Let me introduce Douguyasuji, which supports Osaka’s culinary traditions.


From kitchen equipment, tableware, food replicas, to traditional shop curtains (noren), just browsing here fills you with excitement.

11:30 AM

Umeda Sky Building

At an altitude of 173 meters, it features an open-air rooftop observation deck. With no roof overhead, you can enjoy a refreshing breeze while taking in panoramic views of Osaka. The scenery varies with the seasons and times of day, making it an incredibly photogenic spot.


On a clear day, you can see Awaji Island, Mount Rokko, and the Seto Ohashi Bridge to the west; Universal Studios Japan to the south; Osaka Castle’s main tower to the east; and Expo ’70 Commemorative Park to the north.

12:30 PM

Why not try making and eating takoyaki — Osaka’s beloved soul food — all by yourself? It’s a uniquely fun food experience you can only have in this lively city!

About Tour Guide Rina K.

Welcome to Osaka! My name is Rina, and I’m happy to guide you through my hometown.

My tours are designed for travelers who want to experience Japan at a slower pace, savoring local neighborhoods, cafés, and everyday culture.


Since July 2025, I’ve guided guests from many countries. I enjoy hearing about their lives and cultures, and I’m always glad to see their reactions to Japan. Everyday details here—food, traditions, or even train announcements—often feel new and exciting to visitors, and sharing those discoveries together is very rewarding.


Osaka is often called the “city of kuidaore,” where food is central to life. Local specialties include takoyaki, kushikatsu, and okonomiyaki, but you’ll also find Osaka’s famous spice curry, countless bakeries, and cozy udon shops. Landmarks such as Osaka Castle, the Glico neon sign, and Tsutenkaku Tower are iconic, yet the city—sometimes referred to as the “city of rivers”—also invites you to stroll along the waterways and discover retro architecture. Beyond the major sights, let’s dive deeper into Osaka’s everyday culture and hidden corners.


Osaka is also the ideal base for exploring Kansai. In one day, you can visit Kyoto’s temples, Nara’s deer, Kobe’s harbor, or Shiga’s lakeside scenery. With more time, you can even reach Hiroshima’s Itsukushima Shrine or enjoy the food culture of Fukuoka.


Join me for a relaxed journey through Osaka. Together, we’ll enjoy its flavors, sights, and stories at a comfortable pace.

I look forward to welcoming you to Osaka!
