What To Expect
Shitennoji
Shitennoji is one of Japan's oldest temples, offering a glimpse into centuries of Buddhist culture. The calm atmosphere, grand five-story pagoda, and beautiful stone gardens create a serene escape from the city. The temple grounds are rich with history, and you can feel the spiritual energy as you walk through the peaceful courtyards. Whether you're seeking a quiet moment or curious about ancient Japanese architecture, Shitennoji is a must-visit in Osaka.
Shinsekai
Shinsekai is where Osaka's retro soul comes to life. Walking through its bustling streets, you’ll feel like you’ve stepped into a vibrant time capsule of mid-20th century Japan. Tsutenkaku Tower stands tall, watching over the area, while the smell of sizzling kushikatsu fills the air. This is a district for adventurers—whether you're eating your way through its street food stalls or exploring its quirky shops, Shinsekai offers a flavor of Osaka that’s totally unique.

5.00We actually did a full day Kyoto tour (not Osaka) but it was fantastic. We highly recommend Ben and any tour he offers. He is knowledgeable about the local area and sites to see and he is pure joy to spend time with.

5.00Ben was amazing, made us feel like we were an extension of his family. He was so energetic and kind. This tour truly made us feel like a local in Osaka and made us love Osaka. He brought us to a hyper-local lunch spot that was DELICIOUS, somewhere we would not have been able to go without him. Next time I'm in Osaka it will certainly begin with contacting Ben! Highly recommend and was a very memorable day. Ookini, Ben!!
