Dive into the vibrant and festive food streets of Osaka, Japan’s culinary capital. This immersive tour awakens all your senses as you explore the rich culture, history, and flavors that make Osaka a must-visit destination. Feel the buzz of the city as you wander through lively alleys filled with sizzling sounds of grills and the mouthwatering aroma of takoyaki (octopus balls) and kushikatsu (skewered delicacies). Taste a variety of unforgettable dishes, from savory street food to traditional regional specialties that capture the soul of Osaka. Our expert guide will share insider stories about the city’s unique traditions and lead you to hidden gems, including a secret shrine tucked away from the bustling streets—a serene escape most visitors never discover. Marvel at the harmonious blend of modern neon lights and classic wooden storefronts that embody Osaka’s dynamic character.
Starting on the the bright and busy Doutonburi area we will learn about Glico man, a Filipino sprinter named Fortunato Catalon who inspired a nation and a company!
Similar to Shibuya (its counterpart in Tokyo) the lights and sounds of Dotounburi often lead you astray to overly-commercialised restaurants with queues of tourists outside. We want to take our guests to places they would certainly miss without a local's guidance. We will take secret alleys, not long after we begin the tour, toward the shrine wedged out of sight from the average passerby.

Our guide Kurt was great. Lots of local knowledge as he lives in Osaka. Took us to some great eateries. Very friendly with an abundance of interesting facts about Osaka and its history. Thank you Kurt for a memorable evening .
We did a food tour in Gion Kyoto. Our guide was very good. We had a difficult customer in our group and our guide handled the situation very calmly and professionally. The tour was interesting and food v, tasty. We did think it was a little on the expensive side though. A travellers tip- July is very very hot in Kyoto, take this into account if you are planning on doing any walking and take lots of water with you.
Thank you for sharing your experience on the Gion food tour. We're so glad to hear your guide handled the group dynamic with professionalism and grace, and that you enjoyed the food and stories along the way. Kyoto in July can definitely be intense with the heat, so we appreciate the helpful tip for future guests! We also appreciate your comment regarding the price. We hope you have even more adventures in the time ahead!
This was our 2nd Arigato food tour and it certainly was another amazing experience! This time, we did the nightlife food tour in Osaka and Ike was amazing at introducing our group to Osaka’s amazing food options! Thank goodness for our great guide, Ike! He took us to places we could never have found on our own. Ike was so nice and interesting to talk to. Very happy we did this tour. Highly recommend it,
Marcos is really fun and knows a lot of Japan culture! Went with my wife and had a very nice time.
