Osaka is Western Japan’s largest city. World-wide events will be held in the near future so that the city is getting more attention from all over the world.

In this tour, you can enjoy four things. Firstly, you will get an overview of Osaka’s history at a museum giving you a deep understanding of the city. Then, you will explore one of Japan’s biggest castles with a beautiful main tower, and learn about the life of a great samurai hero who has been loved by Osaka people for generations. Thirdly, you will visit the longest market street (1.6 miles) in Japan which is filled with small shops where tourists rarely visit and can compare to the old days in a museum. Lastly, you will make your own cup noodles at the very place where instant noodles were invented. You can take them back home as a souvenir.

Furthermore, you will also enjoy three different train-rides including Osaka Metro, JR, and Hankyu lines in one day.

Our tour guide Masa was great, she made sure we were able to see all the attractions and understand the historical points behind them. She was also very caring and understanding. My mum has mobility issues and made sure she was able to use all the lifts/escalators that were around as there is quite a bit of walking to do. I would highly recommend this tour if you are looking for a bit of fun in Osaka. The cup noodle factory was also a blast.
Wonderful guide Matsumoto Satomi!

This tour was amazing! Our guide Hasashi did a great job touring us around the city! He provides awesome history on the city through our stops and did an amazing job getting us to each experience. Not having to figure out which train to take where was great. He also helped us get some really good photos and even helped us find a local spot for lunch based on the foods we were looking to try. We stopped short of our last stop at Osaka castle cause I was overheated, but he was so sweet to check if we could still use our ticket from the museum the next day and gave us tips on getting around the castle.
