Itinerary

12:00 PM

Meeting Point

Pick you up at your boyel

- Please tell me your hotel.

12:30 PM

Tenjinbashisuji Shopping street (My Top Recommendation!)

Discover Tenjinbashisuji, Japan's longest shopping street at over 2km (1.2 miles). It's a tourist-free hidden gem for delicious local street food!

02:00 PM

Osaka Castle (Flexible!)

We can head to Osaka Castle next, but honestly, we can go wherever you want! If you have another spot in mind, just let me know and we'll change the plan on the spot.

04:30 AM

Dotonbori & Anywhere You Want! (Fully Customizable)

Beyond Dotonbori’s neon lights, we can go anywhere! Explore hidden backstreets, trendy Shinsaibashi, anime paradise Otaro, or head to Umeda for the Nintendo Store. This evening is yours—just let me know your vibe!

06:00 PM

Ura-Namba Izakaya Hopping (Local Hidden Alley)

The walking-distance contrast between touristy Dotonbori and local Ura-Namba is mind-blowing! The vibe completely changes at night. See the dazzling neon my guests call 'Times Square,' then dive into the deep local drinking culture with me!

Ending Point

I will tell you how to go back your hotel.

Tour Important Information

Special Option: Samurai Experience & Sword Purchase

For our time in Osaka, I have a very special suggestion! A close friend of mine runs a Samurai Dojo, where you can have an authentic Samurai Experience. If you are interested, you can even purchase a genuine Japanese sword here to take home as a lifelong souvenir!

Please note that there is an additional fee of 15,000 JPY per person for this specific activity.

Since my friend’s English is limited, I will be there as your personal interpreter to guide you through the history, techniques, and the sword selection process, ensuring you have a seamless and meaningful experience.

If you would like to add the Samurai Experience, please let me know. I will check the dojo's availability and get back to you!

“Kyoto Tour + Nintendo!”

Despite being rained on for our day trip to Kyoto, Miyu showed us a lot of very interesting things, especially about the Nintendo company there. Her Nintendo knowledge is unparalleled, and was able to show us a bunch of different interesting places. She also had some good recommendations for food while we were there. The day ended at the Nintendo Museum where we learned quite a bit about the history. A very fun day!

Miyu S.

I'm happy to hear that! I'm a big Nintendo fan too! I hope you enjoy playing the Hanafuda (traditional Japanese playing cards).
