Options de l'excursion
Itinéraire
Entrez dans une ruelle de pierre éclairée par des lanternes où le vieil Osaka s'attarde - restaurants traditionnels, bars cachés et charme intemporel nichés derrière la lueur fluo de la ville.
Dotonbori éblouit avec des néons, des panneaux publicitaires géants et des reflets de rivière. Entouré de cuisine de rue, de boutiques et de vie nocturne, il capture parfaitement l'énergie vibrante d'Osaka.
Shinsaibashi-Suji est le cœur de la scène shopping d'Osaka. Les boutiques locales côtoient les marques mondiales. Apprenez des conseils d'initiés pour la chasse au trésor dans ses célèbres magasins d'occasion.
Ebisubashi Bridge est l'un des sites les plus célèbres d'Osaka. S'étendant sur la rivière Dotonbori depuis plus de 400 ans sous les néons et panneaux publicitaires emblématiques de la ville. Un endroit idéal pour se souvenir.
"Ame-mura", dans le lingo local, est la plaque tournante de la culture des jeunes et de la mode de rue à Osaka. Rempli de magasins vintage, de cafés excentriques, de street art et de boutiques indépendantes, c'est le terrain de jeu et le cœur de la ville.
Le marché de Kuromon est un paradis gastronomique animé, où des générations de vendeurs ont servi les fruits de mer les plus frais d'Osaka, des produits de saison et des spécialités locales célèbres. Errer, échantillonner, et apprendre des mains sur la façon de préparer des sashimis.. (Nous arrivons presque toujours ici pour une visite de 3 heures).
Denden Town est le quartier de l'électronique et de la pop-culture d'Osaka, qui regorge de magasins d'animes, mangas, jeux, objets de collection et technologies. Souvent comparé à Akihabara à Tokyo, c'est un paradis pour les amateurs et les chasseurs de trésors. (Nous arrivons presque toujours ici pour une visite de 3 heures).
(Uniquement disponible sur 4, 5, ou 7 - visites privées heures). Shinsekai est le quartier de divertissement rétro d'Osaka, où le charme old school rencontre une vie de rue animée. Les néons, les restaurants locaux, les arcades nostalgiques et l'emblématique tour Tsutenkaku capturent l'esprit d'amusement de la ville. Voici la mascotte locale Billiken.
(Uniquement disponible sur les visites de 4h ou 5h). Les couteaux d'Osaka sont prisés pour leurs tranchants tranchants, leur savoir-faire Expert et leurs traditions séculaires de fabrication de lames. Apprenez le processus de forgeage de l'acier et testez vos compétences de coupe avec nous
(Disponible uniquement sur les visites de 5h et 7h) De 2014 à 2023, c'était le plus haut bâtiment polyvalent du Japon. Avec ses 300 mètres de haut, c'est le point de repère le plus visible d'Osaka offrant les meilleures vues de tout le Kansai. (20 minutes • Billet d'entrée à la plate-forme d'observation Non inclus) Accès gratuit au 16ème étage qui a encore de superbes vues.
(Seulement disponible sur les visites de 5h et 7h) Shitennō-ji est le plus ancien temple bouddhiste du Japon officiellement établi, fondé en 593. Son terrain paisible, son élégante pagode et sa riche histoire offrent un aperçu des origines du bouddhisme Japonais.
(Seulement sur 5 ou 7 - Visites privées d'une heure) Explorez le monument le plus emblématique d'Osaka, le château d'Osaka, et promenez-vous dans le parc environnant tout en découvrant son rôle central dans l'unification du Japon. Cet arrêt combine une architecture saisissante, des aperçus historiques et des paysages pour une expérience vraiment mémorable.
(Disponible uniquement en visite privée de 7h) Un joyau caché spécialisé dans cette tradition unique et intemporelle... petite mais une atmosphère accueillante avec un mélange d'anciens, originaux de l'époque Edo, et de nouvelles œuvres.
(Disponible uniquement en visite privée de 7h) Je ne suis pas un grand fan des musées, mais celui-ci est très différent. Le point culminant est une reconstruction d'une ancienne ville d'Osaka avec des maisons, des magasins et des maisons des riches et des roturiers.

Very informative overview of Osaka culture, , cuisine, tourist & shopping area. It’s our 1st visit to Japan, our tour guide Stephanie was exceptional, very knowledgeable and friendly. By the end of the tour we walked away having learned so much more about Osaka.
I had a fantastic time exploring Osaka with my guide, Eri. She was an absolute pleasure to spend the day with. She was fun, engaging, enthusiastic, and clearly someone who genuinely loves what she does. What particularly impressed me was the depth of her knowledge. Eri moved to Japan only about four years ago and has a strong understanding of both Japanese and Osaka's history and culture. She is clearly passionate about the city and knows all those little details, stories, and quirks that make a private tour so much more interesting than simply walking from one famous attraction to another. Throughout the tour, we experienced remarkably different sides of Osaka, from its history and traditions to its food culture, markets, shopping districts, and wonderfully eccentric entertainment areas. We explored places including Osaka Castle, Shinsekai and Tsutenkaku, Kuromon Market, Dōtonbori, Shinsaibashi, and Amerikamura, to name a few. Eri was especially good at explaining the details I would otherwise have walked straight past : The story behind the moss-covered Mizukake Fudō, Osaka's distinctive food culture, the peculiar world of pachinko, and countless little bits of history and local culture along the way. It never felt like she was simply reciting a memorized script; she genuinely enjoys sharing Osaka with visitors. Eri was especially good at explaining things I would otherwise have walked straight past. She told me about the tradition behind the moss-covered Mizukake Fudō, Osaka's distinctive food culture, the peculiar world of pachinko, and countless pieces of local history. One of my favorites was the wonderfully bizarre story of the “Curse of the Colonel.” After the Hanshin Tigers won the Japan Series in 1985, celebrating fans threw a Colonel Sanders statue into the Dōtonbori Canal as a stand-in for American player Randy Bass. The Tigers then failed to win another Japan Series for 38 years, giving rise to the legend that they had been cursed by Colonel Sanders! It was exactly the sort of quirky local story that made exploring Dōtonbori with Eri so much more memorable. Another impressive thing about Eri is her language ability: she speaks English, Japanese, and Portuguese, as well as some Spanish. Communication throughout the tour was effortless, and spending the day with her was simply a lot of fun. Most importantly, this tour actually changed my impression of Osaka. I had already visited several cities in Japan on this trip, but by the end of the day, I found myself thinking that Osaka might just be my favorite city in Japan. It has history, incredible food, colorful neighborhoods, quirky local culture, and an energy and personality all its own, and I don't think I would have appreciated nearly as much of that without Eri showing me the city through her eyes.

Great tour! We were able to see several highlights and try some Osaka soul food. Rhat was fun, friendly, and very relatable. Would definitely recommend!
Enthousiastic guide with passion for the city!
We had an amazing tour of Osaka with Kiko! Our entire family really enjoyed the experience. He was extremely knowledgeable, kind, and helpful throughout the entire dad. He took us to Namba temple and also showed us many interesting spots that were off the usual tourist path, which made the experience feel very special and unique. We were able to see a side of Osaka we never would have discovered on our own. One of the highlights of the day was visiting some of the coolest pinball machine places in Osaka. My daughter even got to try a pinball machine for the first time, and it was such a fun and memorable moment for her. I realized I had been missing out on experiences like this, and I’m so grateful we got to share it together thanks to Kiko. We really appreciated how smoothly he guided us and how much we were able to experience without ever feeling rushed. He also made everything easy, enjoyable, and memorable.

Did a night tour with Rahat and he was excellent! So knowledgeable about Japanese history and made every stop way more interesting, you could tell he genuinely loves what he does. Perfect tour for someone like me only in Osaka a few days, gave me such a good feel for the city fast thanks to him. Loved the castle stop at the end too, quiet and peaceful, no crowds at all after the busy streets. Already want to come back to Osaka for more, and if you get the chance, ask for Rahat, he's fantastic!
Our guide Cassia was EXCELLENT!! She gave us the inside scoop of the area. Great value for the price. I recommend highly!
We just loved our tour! We were on our first day in Japan and Riri made us feel welcomed and confortable. She was attentive to our needs and made sure everyone of our group had a special moment. We learned a lot during that tour and we wish we’d took a longer one… We will definitly recommend to our friends coming to Osaka!
Lovely tour with very authentic vibe
