Highlights
- Shinsaibashi Shopping Street Promotion Association - Shopping on Shinsaibashi-suji is a must if you’re in Osaka. There are stores catering to shoppers of all ages along the 600-meter covered walkway. It is a place to get authentic Japanese food, fast food, jewelry, and trendy boutiques, in addition to the more traditional kimono tailors.
- Ebisubashi Bridge - The bridge links the areas of Shinsaibashi-suji and Ebisubashi-suji in the heart of the city. Motorized vehicles are prohibited on the footbridge, giving pedestrians more space to stroll across the Dotonbori.
- Osaka Ohsho - Formerly a district for theaters, the region is today known for its vibrant nightlife and enormous, brightly lit billboards. One famous attraction is the billboard for the candy brand Glico with an image of a runner crossing the finish line.
- Namba Yasaka Jinja - In Namba Shrine, it is believed that the big lion’s mouth will consume any negative energy or spirits that may be there, bringing success in academics and business. Exam season and the beginning and ending of the fiscal year are peak times for pilgrimages to the shrine.

Perfect tour to see both the modern and traditional sides of this dynamic metropolis - This was a well guided tour and the fascinating places for me were the Osaka Castle Museum and the Kuromon Market, where I bought some souvenirs. The tour guide took us for an awesome tasty Ramen lunch, which I relished. This is a perfect tour to see both the modern and traditional sides of this colorful, dynamic metropolis.

Mayumi was wonderful! - Mayumi was our guide and she was wonderful! Easy to work with, contacted me well in advance, was knowledgable without being overwhelming and put together a great program. I was especially thankful for the particular care she showed my parents, who are well in their 70s, in adjusting to their limitations such as negotiating with the museum staff to let them use the elevator so they didn’t have to navigate difficult stairs while still being able to enjoy the museum. Mayumi also took us to parts of Osaka that we would never have found on our own but are so happy that we did!

Mayumi was delightful and the tour was exactly what I had hoped for! - Mayumi was our guide and she was wonderful. Reached out ahead of time to chat on what we wanted to do, was very knowledgable and had a great program for us. I was particularly grateful for the care that she showed my parents, who are both in their 70s, in ensuring they could see everything and negotiating with the folks at the castle to let them use the elevator so they could experience the museum without having to navigate so many stairs. That meant a lot to me on a personal level. She also showed us parts of Osaka that we would have never found on our own and we absolutely loved!
