+33 photos
Discover Osaka’s retro charm and flavors on a 3-hour Shinsekai & Dotonbori food tour. Begin in Shinsekai, a nostalgic district watched over by Tsutenkaku Tower. Stroll through Jan-Jan Yokocho alley, see the famous Billiken statue, and taste crispy Kushikatsu, Osaka’s beloved skewered delicacy. Step back in time along a “museum-like” food alley, only 1.2 meters wide, filled with artwork and history from over 80 years ago. Visit a hidden temple tucked between Namba’s neon lights for a moment of reflection before diving into Dotonbori—the true heart of Osaka. Known as the “nation’s kitchen” since the Edo period, Dotonbori is the city’s ultimate food hub. Here, indulge in iconic Osaka street foods like Okonomiyaki and Takoyaki while soaking up the district’s vibrant energy. Perfect for travelers seeking history, culture, and local cuisine, this tour blends the flavors of Osaka with its rich past for an unforgettable culinary journey.
