Destacados

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, conocida como la cocina de Japón, es un puerto de gran corazón con canales de neón, comida callejera y un castillo, cerca de Kioto, Nara y Kobe.

Dotonbori, la franja de ocio junto al canal, es el corazón palpitante de la ciudad, con su cangrejo mecánico gigante y sus carteles luminosos reflejados en el agua. Cerca, las galerías cubiertas de Shinsaibashi y la calle de utensilios de cocina de Doguyasuji atraen a los compradores, y el mercado de Kuromon tienta con marisco, brochetas de wagyu y fruta.

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