Dive into the vibrant and festive food streets of Osaka, Japan’s culinary capital. This immersive tour awakens all your senses as you explore the rich culture, history, and flavors that make Osaka a must-visit destination. Feel the buzz of the city as you wander through lively alleys filled with sizzling sounds of grills and the mouthwatering aroma of takoyaki (octopus balls) and kushikatsu (skewered delicacies). Taste a variety of unforgettable dishes, from savory street food to traditional regional specialties that capture the soul of Osaka. Our expert guide will share insider stories about the city’s unique traditions and lead you to hidden gems, including a secret shrine tucked away from the bustling streets—a serene escape most visitors never discover. Marvel at the harmonious blend of modern neon lights and classic wooden storefronts that embody Osaka’s dynamic character.
Starting on the the bright and busy Doutonburi area we will learn about Glico man, a Filipino sprinter named Fortunato Catalon who inspired a nation and a company!
Similar to Shibuya (its counterpart in Tokyo) the lights and sounds of Dotounburi often lead you astray to overly-commercialised restaurants with queues of tourists outside. We want to take our guests to places they would certainly miss without a local's guidance. We will take secret alleys, not long after we begin the tour, toward the shrine wedged out of sight from the average passerby.
