Osaka walking Tour - This is my second time on this same tour .. I took this tour last year 2024 and this August 2025 and we had the same guide. Taka (man with green glasses) is the best and we loved him ! He was patient, knowledgeable and very professional! This tour was perfect mix of walking, food and culture.

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!

Very nice overview for the main attraction points in Osaka. - To be perfect, just avoid doing it in the summertime. To hot. There is nothing to do with the experience itself, which is a must.

Best locations of osaka in 7hrs. - We arrived 10 minutes late but they still waited for us, so i must thank the tour guide for the patience. The tour requires long walks, sometimes we have to catch some metro. The first part of the tour is about the history of osaka castle and it's founder, if you love japanese ancient history you gonna love that part. The second part is the oldest temple in japan, the shitennoji, so more history. The third part is shinsekai, vibrant market area with a lot of tasty food. This was my favourite part. And after that the last part is dotonburi, which is the main attraction area of osaka nanba. It was a good tour, if long walks are not a problem with you you're gonna have fun. And oh yeah we ate a delicious ramen and it was included with the tour. I 100% recommend this tour
