5.00We enjoyed trying different style Japanese foods at multiple spots. Our tour guide James took us to places we wouldn't have found on our own. James was knowledgeable of Japanese culture, customs, and history. He speaks fluent English and Japanese so translated our drink orders for us at Japanese-speaking places. This is a must-do food tour to be immersed in the Osaka food culture and traditions.
Well organized and comfortable tour
