Our expert guide will share insider stories about the city’s unique traditions and lead you to hidden gems, including a secret shrine tucked away from the bustling streets—a serene escape most visitors never discover.

Dotombori Glico Sign
Starting on the the bright and busy Doutonburi area we will learn about Glico man, a Filipino sprinter named Fortunato Catalon who inspired a nation and a company!
Dotombori District
Similar to Shibuya (its counterpart in Tokyo) the lights and sounds of Dotounburi often lead you astray to overly-commercialised restaurants with queues of tourists outside. We want to take our guests to places they would certainly miss without a local's guidance. We will take secret alleys, not long after we begin the tour, toward the shrine wedged out of sight from the average passerby.

Really enjoyed this tour. Highly recommended. Our guide took us to a few restaurants and allowed us to try foods that we wouldn't have tried if we were alone.

We loved our food tour with Melissa as our guide! The food was amazing and Melissa was able to find vegetarian options at each stop for my partner. Not only was the food and experience amazing at each restaurant, Melissa supplemented the tour with Osaka history! Would recommend this experience to anyone, it was delightful and delicious.
