Highlights

Experience Osaka through sushi at TUGBOAT TAISHO, a waterfront food and cultural destination in the Taisho area. This private experience combines hands-on sushi making with an authentic lunch at a real local sushi restaurant. Meet your guide at JR Taisho Station and walk to TUGBOAT TAISHO. After a brief introduction to the area, head to Sushi-ichi, where a sushi chef will guide you through making four pieces of sushi. You will then enjoy a total of 10 pieces, including six prepared by the chef, with a bowl of soup. More than a typical sushi-making class, this experience takes place in a restaurant open to local customers, allowing you to enjoy sushi in an authentic setting while discovering one of Osaka’s less-touristy waterfront areas. Afterwards, you are welcome to explore TUGBOAT TAISHO, enjoy its other restaurants and drinks, or continue to your next destination. Your guide will explain the best route and nearest station before saying goodbye.

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).
