Description
Osaka is best seen on foot, and this route proves it! To beat the heat, we will hand you a refreshing cold matcha or mixed juice completely on us. You can book this tour right up to the last minute to explore Osaka's golden route. On the route: Osaka Castle – the grounds, the park, and the history behind the walls Shitennoji Temple – Japan's oldest Buddhist temple, still in daily use Shinsekai – retro streets under Tsutenkaku Tower, kushikatsu and a bit of grit Dotonbori – the canal, the neon, the street food everyone photographs Kuromon Market – locals call it Osaka's kitchen Your guide fills in what a map app can't: which gate to use, which stall is worth the wait, why the castle looks so different today. Groups stay small, no umbrella-following crowds. Good for： ・First-timers who'd rather ask a person than a screen. ・Perfect for last-minute bookings. ・Small Groups (8 pax max) We move by local subway and train (fares not included), your guide handles tickets and timing.
