All of Osaka's sights in one day with a great guide - Taka communicated the day before to tell me where to meet and provided great instructions. He provided much insight into all the must sees, from Osaka Castle's Toyotomi Hideyoshi's rise from poverty to political power to the Glico Man in Dotonbori. Very informative and great walk plus subway ride as needed. Great tour for anyone visiting Osaka

Great way to see some of the main sites and learn some history - Lovely local guide who was able to explain history of sites along the way
Includes some quick train trips which was nice to rest the legs . Nice medium walking pace to chat and enjoy the sites
Delicious ramen lunch and a chance to have some more snacks at the market if you choose.

Japan 2025 Cherry Blossom Festival - We didn't do the walking tour but did all the things and visited the sights that we wanted to see. We spent 8 days in Osaka, basing ourselves there to do day trips to Nara, Kyoto etc. Then to Yokohama, a must do and of course Tokyo. Wonderful trip!

So fun!!! - The guide was so great, Tata thank you!! You should request him. You see a lot on this tour and walk a lot but there was plenty of time for everything. Lunch was delicious!! After the tour there is still time to go do other things you may be interested in. If you have limited time in Osaka this is the tour for you!! You walk a lot so be prepared.
