What To Expect

Osaka Castle
We walk the grounds right up to the castle, but do not enter the building itself (we find it rather disappointing inside, but the outside is great!). The stronghold of Osaka, this imposing structure and lovely surrounding grounds are must-see for any visitor to Osaka.

1 hours • Admission Ticket Free

Shitennoji
Said to be Japan's oldest Buddhist temple, the buildings, grounds, and stories will engage and impress. When open (they are a bit fickle), we also check out their lovely Japanese garden (300 yen per adult extra).

60 minutes • Admission Ticket Free

Shinsekai
A blast of an older entertainment quarter, we see some of Osaka's most emblematic sights on our walkabout.

30 minutes • Admission Ticket Free

Sumiyoshi Taisha Shrine
Making for a great contrast with Shitennoji Temple, this Shinto shrine beautifully unfolds across ancient and hallowed grounds. Come breathe in 1500 years of history.

60 minutes • Admission Ticket Free

Sakai City Hall Observatory Flour
Take in a spectacular view of Osaka to the north, the mountains demarcating Nara to the east, and the coast to the west and south.

30 minutes • Admission Ticket Free

Daisen Park
A very lightly touristed, beautiful Japanese garden just a bit south of Osaka proper, Daisen Park's garden will delight as you stroll around its pond and deeper along its lovely landscaped stream. Admission is 200 yen. While here, we also gaze out across one of the largest tomb sites in the world, that of Emperor Nintoku from around the 5th century.

Reviews

Awesome! Highly recommended!
Joan_P, 04-01-2023
The tour made our Osaka trip fun and memorable. Kevin gave us the tour himself. We couldn’t ask for a better guide to the city because he was friendly, accommodating and open with his experiences living in the city. We appreciate how he showed us the best parts of Osaka but in a local perspective. He also gave us access to the most beautiful areas that most tourists are not aware of. We learned so much about the culture, history and the people of the areas we explored. The food was also fantastic! One thing we really loved about the tour was the flexibility we had with time. Kevin allowed us to take all the time we needed for photos, so we never felt rushed or stressed. He was very engaging with us and constantly asked us what we liked so that he could cater to our preferences. Our conversations with him were also very interesting. There was no boring moment and we liked how he was so relatable and approachable. The private-car tour was the best decision we made, especially for those of us who were experiencing Osaka for the first time. Thank you so much for wonderful experience! It is something we highly recommend

The tour was great as was Kevin. It rained a lot and a few places closed due to Coronavirus but we still had a full day of fun. Kevin is very knowledgeable about the history and culture. I highly recommend the tour.
Extremely Professional, knowledgeable and Engaging

It was my 50th Birthday celebration. Levy ensured the trip was memorable and gifted a cake at the end
Great Tour!

We had Kevin as our guide who picked us up at our AirBnb. We spent a whole day exploring various shrines and gardens. Kevin is very knowledgable and interesting! It's one thing to visit shrines and temples alone but having a guide enhances the experience and you get so much more out of it! Highly recommended and request Kevin if you are able!
Amazing tour!

We went on the private luxury tour of Osaka and it was fantastic! Our guide, Levy, was amazing. He was knowledgeable, funny, and just an all around great guy. I was especially excited about seeing the kofun, they did not disappoint. We loved him so much that we hired him for a second tour!
