Great backstreet food tour!

Hiro was a great guide with everything meticulously mapped out ahead of time. We loved trying Oden from a family owned place that had about 6 seats. We went to a great, small Yakitori place with fun and lively staff and guests. We had Takoyaki and Gyoza at different places. The kids stopped to do archery and cork guns. We also went to an Udon place and a restaurant where you can catch your own fish…if you desire. Lastly, Hiro treated us to dessert-taiyaki. The tour was the best way to spend one of our last nights in Osaka. I would highly recommend!! Thank you.

To Olivia and her lovely family, Thank you for leaving wonderful comments. I wanted you to enjoy Japan more than ever. It was my pleasure to hear that way more than I thought. Lastly, there is more than you ate in Japan. Someday, you will come back and try other local foods. Thank you very much from my heart.

Modern Art Naoshima Island

Osaka
8 hours

When you use ferry from Uji port of Okayama Prefecture, in 25 minutes a giant red pumpkin come into view through the early morning haze clinging to the dockside. Today, Naoshima island has become one of the brightest stars in Japan's contemporary art scene. In Chischu Art Museum you appreciate "Open Field" designed by James TURRELL. It is an art as if it were sucked in the light. Other exhibits are 5 paintings of water lily by Claude MONET.
