Description

Discover Osaka's most iconic landmarks with this private 1-day tour!  

You'll meet your guide at Osaka station, and walk (about 15 minutes) to the Umeda Sky Building, a skyscraper made up of twin towers linked by an observation platform from where you can enjoy a 360° view of the city.

You'll then hop on the metro to the popular Shinsekai district, where you can sample the local cuisine in one of its numerous street restaurants (lunch is not included and is at your own expense). This district is also home to the famous Tsutenkaku Tower, one of Osaka's emblematic buildings. You'll also visit a shop that sells traditional Japanese knives.

You'll then take the metro to Osaka Castle, built in 1585 by the famous samurai, Toyotomi Hideyoshi. Destroyed and rebuilt several times, it's now one of the city's most famous sites. You'll learn more about Osaka's history and enjoy views of the city from its top floor.

You'll then head to Kuromon Market, known for its wide variety of seafood and traditional food.  

Afterwards, you'll go to Dotombori, Osaka's outlet district located beside a canal. You'll then head off on a cruise along the Dotombori River and pass under the nine bridges that cross it.

The tour will end in Dotombori, at which point you can return to your hotel or continue exploring the district at your leisure.
