You’ll weave your way through Osaka’s streets with one of our local Osaka hosts, feasting on regional Kansai dishes. Known as ‘Kuidaore City’, meaning ‘to ruin oneself with food’, we’re sure you’ll agree that this sounds like you’ve happily landed in the country’s gastronomic capital! You’ll feast on Kobe beef, best served grilled or in Tecchiri. Round things off with dessert! You could go for sweet rice cakes, rainbow-colored pancakes or matcha flavored ice-cream.
Within 24 hours after booking you'll receive a short questionnaire about your personality and interests. Based on your responses, you'll be assigned a like-minded host. Your host will communicate with you directly to suggest an itinerary to help you discover what makes the city unique. You will also agree on a meeting time and place. Your itinerary is flexible, so during the xperience, you can always change your mind about what you want to do.

We loved the Osaka Food Tour. My son and I have serious & different food allergies, so this was a safer way to experience several of the food markets in Osaka. Fumiko, our guide, was the absolute BEST!

Loys was fantastic. He took both of our unique and individual preferences into account when selecting stops on the tour. The conversion was great and so was the food. He even took extra time to help us find a store we had been looking for. It was a wonderful experience and he is an awesome guide. Thank you Loys!

Maria was absolutely amazing. She taught us things, explained the foods we were eating and took us to so many fun places. We ate so much food and she pivoted based on what we liked and wanted to do. Can’t say enough good things about the tour and Maria in general. She was one of our favourite tour guides in all of Japan that we had. Super friendly. Would definitely recommend her.
