Highlights

  • This is your tour if you demand a private tour with both the big sights as well as a walk on the local side.
  • Guide will be a native or near-native English speaker, who also speaks Japanese.
  • Plus, since Osaka is "Japan's Kitchen", food will be ever-present, both delightfully downmarket and astoundingly upmarket at times.
  • In the "top sights" - no trip to Osaka is complete with a stop at Osaka Castle, but, we also dig deeper into the neighborhoods.
  • We finish off with the famous Dotonbori, but don't leave too much time there, as we assume you will browse about the area on your own.

What to expect

Located in the center of Osaka, Osaka Castle is a major landmark of Osaka. It is also listed as one of the three famous castles in Japan's history together with Nagoya Castle and Kumamoto Castle. The Osaka Castle is divided into inner, middle, and outer castles (i.e., Honmaru, Ninomaru, Sannomaru). The magnificent city gate, the steep walls and the wide moats inside and outside are very spectacular. The pavilion also overlooks the streetscape around Osaka Castle.
