★★★★★★★★★★4.7 · 411 reviews · 7 hours · from $56Our pick

Walk Osaka’s top highlights with a local English guide, ride the subway smart, and enjoy a ramen lunch, all in a small group.

“Taka is a great guide! Very knowledgable about the city, gave us plenty of time to explore on our own. I particularly enjoyed quite a bit the advice he gave us on purchasing Osaka city pass in advance - not only did we get a discount for some of the points in the itinerary, but also were able to skip the general line to Osaka Castle. Top it all off, lunch was also great and quite substabtial. anyway, this tour is well-recommended if you're into exploring a new place on foot :)”

“We were a family of 5 traveling from Canada. Our host Keiichi, Mimi and Yuma were absolutely amazing! Their skill in folding gyoza was incredible. They were so patient with us when we had a little trouble finding the building (tucked a block behind the Ferrari dealership, just past a big stairway to a gym and an outdoor lounge area with lots of couches). They were so kind and patient with our teens and their English was excellent. We learned so much and they left us with the recipes and enough confidence to make our own gyoza and ramen at home. We got to enjoy our food at the end…”
