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 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.

“We Had A Grand Time!!!”
We toured Kyoto and Osaka with Takashi. He is an excellent guide and made our 2 days of touring exciting. He is very knowledgeable and we took public transportation with ease. I had a knee injury and he directed us to elevators and escalators for easy access. Best guide on our trip!

“Great guide! ”
Takashi might be a relatively new guide but he is a great guide with lots of patience and interacts very well with the group. I will definitely book him again in my next tour.

“Yes, A Perfect Trip In Osaka”
Japanese friends strongly encouraged my wife and me to visit Osaka. We wanted to optimize our opportunity when we realized we could take a day trip from Kyoto. Takashi's Perfect Trip In Osaka optimized our time and more. Takashi's enthusiasm for Osaka was infectious. His guidance was not tempered by a sense of "having done this before," Takashi made us feel that he was also discovering something new as we explored all aspects of Osaka--from Osaka Castle to Osaka's "New World" District. Osaka is a vibrant city, a startling mix of tradition with cutting-edge trends. This is a city that is best revealed through someone who is equally vibrant. A day spent in Osaka with Takashi is, indeed, perfect. Arigato gozaimasu, Takashi!!!
