Description
This is the ideal tour for time-tight travelers that want to discover Osaka’s highlights efficiently in a day. Avoid the potential confusion of Osaka’s subway system; travel comfortably in a private vehicle instead! Your English-speaking driver will fully support your six hour tour. On this tour, your driver will be able to take you to the beautiful Osaka castle, Dotonbori District for some Takoyaki, then visit the retro Shinsekai District with its famous giant blowfish lantern and relax in the beauty of Sumiyoshi Taisha Shrine. You will have the freedom to explore each area on your own as the driver waits for you to accompany you safely to your next destination. Tour details may change depending on your meeting point. Please feel free to ask us if you have any special requests for your itinerary. This tour does not include a private guide. If you wish to hire a guide, please contact us.
