This is your tour if you demand a private tour with both the big sights as well as a walk on the local side. 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.

Guide will be a native or near-native English speaker, who also speaks Japanese. We're happy to make modifications based on your specific interests (subject to additional expense)

First child free!

Sashiko workshop bundled extra:

After morning exploration of Osaka, enjoy a self-guided break for lunch and transit the workshop. Then, you'll immerse yourself in a Sashiko Workshop. Here you’ll learn the intricate art of traditional Japanese stitching and create you own piece to take home.
