Street foods you've never tried before
Hozenji Yokocho
Hozenji Temple A small, atmospheric temple hidden in the middle of the city. Its moss-covered statue of Fudo Myo-o is famous—visitors often splash water on it while making a wish. The peaceful atmosphere offers a surprising contrast to the busy streets of Namba. Hozenji Yokocho Alley A narrow stone-paved alley lined with traditional restaurants and bars. Walking through it feels like stepping back in time. It’s a great place to soak in the nostalgic, old-town charm of Osaka, and maybe even try some local dishes at a hidden gem eatery.

5.00Look no further for a wonderful tour of Osaka! Natsumi and Taka were so warm and friendly and we thoroughly enjoyed our time with them. Pros — only 2 hours, but jam-packed with sights, everything was in a condensed area so we never felt like we were marching all over town, we could sample lots of yummy and affordable local favorites, we took a nice break mid-way so that we could ask questions and chat, and Natsumi took us to some wonderful little shops.
Recommended!

5.00Natzumi’s energy is unreal. We really enjoyed the tour. She took us around the Dotonbori area covering popular spots and ending with a stroll over the markets. She also taught us about the Shinto practices.
