Overview
Schedule
At the beginning of the tour, your guide will take you through Dotonbori. This lively part of Osaka is famous for its bright lights, including the iconic big Glico man. Once you've seen the busier side of this district, your guide will lead you off the beaten path.
Munch on some Kushikatsu (deep fried meat and veggie skewers) and enjoy Takoyaki at a Michelin rated food stop. Continue on to an Izakaya or a local pub and chew on local staples such as tempura, sukiyaki and more!
Your guide will lead you to a building filled with eccentric and quirky themed bars. Each door opens a new kind of adventure and offers a different kind of vibe. Then, finish off your gastronomic adventure with a sweet tasting of a local dessert.
Tour Ends in the Minami Osaka/Dontonbori area
