Description

We don’t just show you Osaka, we help you live it. While most tours stick to the neon-lit main roads, your professional veteran guides take you deep into the backstreets of Uranamba. We’ve traded rigid scripts for real stories and tourist traps for local legends. We have a simple philosophy: small groups create big memories. With a maximum of 9 guests, the vibe is relaxed, the conversations are real, and the experience is personal. You aren’t being "guided" by a lecturer, you’re being welcomed by a local friend. From the history of Osaka Soul Food to the secrets of Japan's subcultures, we share the soul of the city we love. We prioritize genuine connection and a deep respect for Japan’s culture, ensuring you leave with more than just a full stomach. Join us for a night of world-class food and even better stories, and see why Osaka is a place you’ll never forget. Come hungry, leave happy.

The Best of Osaka Street Food

Highlight of my Japan trip — Tommy was a fantastic tour guide! Not only was he very knowledgeable on the best spots for Osaka street food, but also very generous with providing insights into local life and his experience with moving to the city. Would recommend his tour company to anyone traveling to the area

Food tour, and day tour

Tommy was great. Whole experience from a to z was fantastic. From the choice of food stops, exploring different types, styles and locations (and beers). to the day tour which was planned around what we wanted to do and see (not what was just put in front of us). Tommy obviously helped with this and gave great ideas, but did not try to push us in a certain direction at all. We covered so much in the time spent with him. English and Japanese was excellent and his knowledge of history and culture was exceptional, and helped by the way he presented his stories. Highly recommended and we will definitely do more tours with him next time we come.
