Osaka Castle
Osaka Castle was originally built in 1598 by Hideyoshi Toyotomi. But the castle fell during a war in 1615. Then it was reconstructed in 1629 by Tokugawa Shogunate. But a lightning struck the Main Tower in 1665. The castle which exists right now is rebuilt in 1931.
Shinsekai and Tsutenkaku Tower
Shinsekai means "New World" in Japanese. This area was developed to have a "National Industrial Exhibition" in 1903. This was one of the most advanced and developed places in West Japan on that time and that's why this area is called "New World". And Tsutenkaku Tower stands in the center of this area and it's the symbol of Shinsekai and Osaka.
Dotonbori and Namba Area
This is the most energetic area in Osaka!! You can find a lot of stores, restaurants and really unique signboards like Glico Man, Kani Doraku Crab, Kushikatsu Daruma, and so on.
In this area, we can have the lunch in Okonomiyaki restaurant. Okonomiyaki is the most popular and famous soul food in Osaka!!
And we can try Takoyaki in this area. Takoyaki is one of the soul foods in Osaka and the most popular street food in Japan.
Cost of food: JPY2,000-3,500 per person
Umeda Area
Umeda is one of the biggest commercial, business, shopping and entertaiment district in Japan. And here we can find Osaka Station, which is the largest terminal station in west Japan.

“Buen profesional empático y amable”
Tuvimos solo cuatro horas en Osaka después de un día muy intenso en Kioto. Llegamos bastante cansados pero en apenas cuatro horas Takishi nos ofreció una interesantísima visita general que nos dejó a todos con muchas ganas de volver a conocer con mayor profundidad esta ciudad. Muchas gracias Takishi

“Excellent tour guide, 5 stars!!!”
Takashi is personable, knowledgeable, fun, informative tour guide. He was excellent. He personalized our tour today to my specific requests. He was really responsive to my emails and very patient with my planning. He is highly qualified as a tour guide, gave us several recommendations for future restaurants and activities to plan. Today was really fun and casual, we went to several coffee places, made our own okonymyaki (forgive my spelling). It was everything we wanted and more!!! He answered all our questions about Japnes life! Highly recommend Takashi!

“EL MEJOR !!!!”
Tuve la dicha de visitar Kyoto, Japón, y gracias a nuestro guía turístico, la experiencia fue verdaderamente inolvidable. Como puertorriqueña, me sentí bienvenida y bien atendida en todo momento. Nuestro guía fue increíblemente amable, atento y complaciente. Siempre estuvo dispuesto a adaptarse a nuestros intereses, responder nuestras preguntas y compartir con entusiasmo sus conocimientos sobre la historia, cultura y tradiciones japonesas. Más allá de su profesionalismo, fue una persona genuinamente cálida y servicial. Se notaba que ama lo que hace, y eso se reflejó en cada momento del recorrido. Gracias a él, no solo aprendimos mucho, sino que también nos llevamos recuerdos hermosos y significativos de Kyoto. ¡Recomendado 100%! Si visitan Japón, no duden en contar con él como guía. ¡Una experiencia de cinco estrellas!
