Highlights

This is the ideal tour for time-tight travelers that want to discover Osaka’s highlights efficiently in a day. Avoid the potential confusion of Osaka’s subway system; travel comfortably in a private vehicle instead! Your English-speaking driver will fully support your six hour tour. On this tour, your driver will be able to take you to the beautiful Osaka castle, Dotonbori District for some Takoyaki, then visit the retro Shinsekai District with its famous giant blowfish lantern and relax in the beauty of Sumiyoshi Taisha Shrine. You will have the freedom to explore each area on your own as the driver waits for you to accompany you safely to your next destination. Tour details may change depending on your meeting point. Please feel free to ask us if you have any special requests for your itinerary. This tour does not include a private guide. If you wish to hire a guide, please contact us.

About Osaka

Osaka is known as Japan's kitchen, a big-hearted port city of neon canals, street food and a grand castle, with Kyoto, Nara and Kobe close by.

Dotonbori, the canal-side entertainment strip, is the city's beating heart, its giant mechanical crab and glowing billboards reflected in the water. Nearby, the covered arcades of Shinsaibashi and the kitchenware street of Doguyasuji draw shoppers, and Kuromon Market tempts with seafood, wagyu skewers and fruit.

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