This is a private tour so we can totally make this 100% personalized !
At Your Hotel OR at Namba Metro Station, exit 24, at the top of the stairs
Visit the winding alleys full of charm. The history is written in the walls, with ancient photos and artifacts on display!
A place to entertain and be entertained. In this zone there is so much happening with the billboards, restaurants and 3D shop advertising popping out!
Uranamba is an array of hidden shops of all sorts off the beaten path. Perfect to get lost amongst the locals through some very narrow alleys.
The heart of Osaka. Such a hive of activity. Sounds, jovial spirit and a great spot to have some sake ahahaha
Sake made simple here. Over 200 bottles to sample from. From the sweet to the dry, I'll explain it all.
I've definitely got you covered on this one. I'm a total foodie and know all the great restaurants (highend or budget)
This is a hilarious take on America. Nothing like it but thats what Osaka thinks America is.
A very immersive and unique look at knives in Osaka. The Sakai region is super famous for knives
My favorite part of Osaka. So charming and friendly are the people of this area.
15 arces are these castle grounds.
You'd want to end at Shinsekai (Retro District) or the Osaka Castle as there is so much to see and do and its next to the Metro.

“This tour made us realize we HAVE to come back to Osaka. ”
There are not enough words or time to express the awesome time we had enjoying all the delights Osaka has to offer. Thanks for coming through Andy. You made it happen better than expected.
“Osaka magic, an unforgettable experience!”
A stellar experience in deep Osaka! Thanks for making it happen. A definite highlight of our adventures through Japan.
“Flexible and fun”
Did the tour with Adam because Andy was under the weather the day of our booking. I had requested a custom tour because I was with my 88 year old parents and it was the peak Sakura week and I was concerned about crowds. Andy and Adam made sure we hit the main highlights requested by my family and customized accommodating the pace of the tour and navigating with two wheelchairs. Highly recommend!
