Meeting Point

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.
In this area, we will have the lunch in Kushikatsu restaurant. Kushikatsu is one of the soul foods in Osaka!! It's deep-fried skewered meat and vegetables. We will have this crunchy dish with delicious Japanese sauce.

Osaka Tour Reviews
“We love the Osaka Nightlife!”
Takashi! Did a wonderful job taking us two families (from Australia) through Osaka on his nightlife tour! As a part of the tour he took us to a local favourite restaurant for Okonomiyaki - which was the best we had tasted!! Takashi even went above and beyond taking us to karaoke (at our request) and singing us a wonderful rendition of Stand By Me. We also burnt his eardrums. Takashi was an excellent guide with many interesting facts and excellent knowledge of the area. He was also very aware of great photo opportunity spots and was more than happy to play the role of photographer for us as well. We really appreciate your professional guidance Takashi! Thankyou very much :)

“One day Osaka tour ”
Takashi was very enthusiastic about showing us Osaka. He met us at 11am at our hotel and stayed with us until past 10 pm even though he had another tour group at 8am the next day. We got to do everything we wanted in Osaka for the day including seeing Osaka aquarium, Osaka castle, Hep Five mall, Osaka Shinsekai, and Dotombori. He was very knowledgeable about the history of Osaka castle and we learned so much from him. He speaks fluent English and he is enjoyable to talk to. He is friendly and very accomodating. He goes out of his way to take care of all our needs. He made reservations for all our yummy restaurants on that day which prevented us from having to wait for a table. We highly recommend Takashi to everyone who comes to Japan and needs either an English or Spanish speaking tour guide. He is one of the best tour guides we had in Japan. Thank you Takashi for a memorable and fun day in Osaka.

“day & night tour”
Despite bad weather due to rain during my day and night guided tour of Osaka, Takashi went above and beyond to ensure that I had a great experience. Their flexibility allowed them to make alternative arrangements, adjusting our itinerary to make the most of our time despite the rain. Takashi, was also helped me figure my subway and Shinkansen tickets that i had purchased online that needed to be printed at the machines.
