Join this Osaka Food Tour and Walking Tour to explore the city’s street food, culture, and history. Taste takoyaki fresh from a street-side stand in Dotonbori, with the option to add kushikatsu (deep-fried skewers) for a true local experience. A highlight is trying okonomiyaki, whose name means “grill as you like.” You’ll enjoy the traditional Osaka-style way—cooking it yourself on a hotplate—an authentic self-grilling experience guided by your host. Along the way, visit shrines and temples such as Namba Yasaka, blending culinary passion with spiritual heritage. Scan QR codes for multilingual explanations (English, French, Spanish, Dutch, German) with free Wi-Fi. This private tour combines food, cooking, walking, and culture for an unforgettable Osaka experience.
