Højdepunkter

For hard-core historians who want facts separated from myth and ancient propaganda. Most Osaka Castle tours start in the 1500s. This one starts before Japan had a name — because the castle only makes sense once you've stood where it all began. Discover Japan's origin story. Walk the ruins with a resident historian who lives one block away. Travel back in time through 7,000 years of Osaka's human story — from Jomon hunter-gatherers to the final destruction of the Toyotomi clan in 1615. Discover why, for thousands of years, kings, queens, emperors, warlords, farmers and peasants have all considered this landscape, home. Before the tour, I will send GPS-capable historical maps directly to you. After, you will receive a full reference document covering everything we discussed. One continuous story you won't find on any other tour. Leave knowing why this hill has been worth fighting over for seven thousand years.

About Osaka

Osaka kaldes Japans køkken, en varmhjertet havneby af neonoplyste kanaler, gademad og et stort slot, med Kyoto, Nara og Kobe tæt på.

Dotonbori, forlystelsesstriben langs kanalen, er byens bankende hjerte, med sin gigantiske mekaniske krabbe og glødende reklameskilte, der spejler sig i vandet. I nærheden lokker de overdækkede arkader i Shinsaibashi og køkkenredskabsgaden Doguyasuji shoppere, og Kuromon-markedet frister med skaldyr, wagyu-spyd og frugt.

Top-ranked sights in Osaka: Tsutenkaku Tower, Osaka Castle (Osaka-jo), Nara Park (Nara Koen).
