Itineraries

Osaka Castle

Explore the iconic Osaka Castle, a symbol of the city’s history, as you wander through its stunning grounds and learn about its significant role in Japan’s past. Please note that unless you request otherwise, we won’t go inside the Osaka Castle museum. Instead, we’ll explore the beautiful exterior and I’ll show you my top picks for photo spots in the castle park before heading to our next stop—Kuromon Market. If you would like to enter the Osaka Castle museum, the admission fee is 1,200 yen per adult, and it must be paid for both you and the guide (me).

Kuromon Market

Step into the heart of Osaka’s food scene with a guided walk through Kuromon Market—a lively market with over 200 years of history. Known as “Osaka’s kitchen,” this massive market is packed with local flavor, culture, and color. You’ll stroll past stalls overflowing with fresh seafood, giant crabs, and beautifully marbled Kobe beef. Your local guide (that’s me!) will point out the best bites and help you choose what to try—whether it’s melt-in-your-mouth Kobe beef skewers, crispy takoyaki, or even adventurous dishes like fugu (puffer fish). This is a casual, flexible food experience. I’ll share my top picks, and you can taste based on your own curiosity, appetite, and budget. It’s perfect for food lovers who want to eat like a local and learn the stories behind each dish. Let’s eat our way through Osaka—one bite at a time.

Sennichimae Doguyasuji Shopping Street

After diving into the local food scene, we’ll head to one of Osaka’s best-kept secrets for kitchen lovers—Sennichimae Doguyasuji Shopping Street. This covered alley is where Osaka’s chefs, home cooks, and restaurant owners come to shop for serious tools. Think razor-sharp Japanese knives, beautiful ceramic plates, bento boxes, and even those fake food samples you see in restaurant windows. I’ll guide you through the most interesting shops and show you items that you probably won’t find back home. Whether you’re a passionate home cook or just love browsing quirky, local goods, this spot is full of surprises. It’s a fun blend of culture and craftsmanship—and a perfect way to experience a side of Osaka that many tourists often miss.

Hozenji Temple

Tucked away in a quiet alley near the lively streets of Dotonbori, Hozenji Temple offers a peaceful break—and a glimpse of old Osaka. As we walk along the cobblestone path, you’ll feel the change in atmosphere. It’s calm, historic, and full of charm. At the heart of the temple stands the famous moss-covered statue of Fudo Myoo. Locals and visitors stop here to splash water on the statue and make a wish. Over the years, the layers of moss have grown thick, giving it a mysterious, almost spiritual look. I’ll share the story behind this unique custom and why it’s such a meaningful part of Osaka’s culture. It’s a small spot, but unforgettable—especially in the soft light of early evening.

Dotonbori Street

No trip to Osaka is complete without a stroll through Dotonbori—a colorful, high-energy area packed with neon lights, giant billboards, and the smell of sizzling street food. We’ll soak in the vibrant atmosphere and stop by the famous Glico Man sign**—perfect for that iconic Osaka photo. You’ll also get the chance to try beloved local bites like crispy takoyaki and savory okonomiyaki, freshly made right on the street. Whether it’s your first time or your tenth, Dotonbori always delivers something fun, loud, and unforgettable. I’ll guide you through the best corners, local snacks, and share a few hidden spots many visitors miss.
