Embark on a guided Osaka journey from its historic roots to its vibrant downtown.

Your experience begins around Osaka Castle. Visit the historic Hokoku Shrine, followed by an 80-minute exploration of the castle grounds and its main tower. Next, take a short subway ride like a local to the southern district.

Arriving at Tennoji Park, stroll through "Tenshiba" before a 10-minute exterior photo stop at Abeno Harukas. Next, dive into Shinsekai to view Tsutenkaku Tower from outside and walk through the narrow Janjanyokocho Arcade.

Another brief subway ride brings you to Namba, the energetic heart of modern Osaka. Walk into Dotonbori to visit the moss-covered Hozenji Temple, slip through the stone paths of Hozenji Yokocho, and explore hidden Ukiyo Koji alley.

The tour concludes with a photo stop at the world-famous Glico Sign right at Ebisu-bashi Bridge, where your guide will recommend the best nearby local street food.
