Osaka has a thriving art scene that almost no tourist ever sees. On this private tour, I take you inside independent galleries tucked into backstreets and forgotten buildings — and introduce you to the artists making work there today. This is the Osaka that locals actually care about. Depending on what's showing and what interests you, we visit three to five galleries from a circuit I know well — indie venues that don't appear in guidebooks, set in buildings with their own story. Wherever possible, I introduce you to the people behind the work. We finish with lunch at a local spot I've personally chosen — you pay separately, but the recommendation is part of the tour.Vegan and vegetarian options available. This tour works best for people who are already curious about art, design, or Japanese creative culture — and who'd rather have a real conversation than follow a flag through a crowd. Groups of 2–6 only, always private.

The best way to get acquainted with places you visit is to take a food tour. But what is even more important is to have a knowledgeable and engaging guide with a great personality. That describes Anna our Osaka ichiban yoi guide. Get to know the culture and the food the fun and easy way. Highly recommended.

A great way to spend our first night in Osaka! I went with my family (we're all adults), and we had a blast. Our guide Taka was extremely funny and good to be around. He showed us some tourist hubs in the area, but most of the tour focused on the smaller, hidden gems of the different areas and some of the nightlife. We got great recommendations and ideas for the rest of our trip. Would definitely recommend.

We had the pleasure of having Aki as our tour guide. Aki was super knowledgable and made our tour very enjoyable, she was also very helpful with taking photos whenever. Aki seemed to always have an answer for the questions that we had, and she also paid for me and my tours transportation back to the station out of her pocket post tour, and offered recommendations to other parts of Japan. Through and through a 5 star guide. Overall I would really recommend this trip to anyone looking to experience Nara.

We had a wonderful day exploring Kyoto with Yoshi. We were able to see so much in a single day and visit several of the city's most iconic sights. Yoshi was friendly, professional, and made the day easy and enjoyable. Having transportation arranged for us allowed us to make the most of our time, and we definitely would not have been able to cover as much ground on our own. If you're looking for a convenient way to see many of Kyoto's highlights in one day, this tour is a great option.

Osaka Street Food Tour: 17 Dishes at 4 Local Eateries

Jessica_B, May 2026

One of the best things we did in Osaka

We were so surprised at how well-planned this trip was. Meals were preselected with options for people who avoid certain foods, seats were saved for us when we got there and we got to try a pretty wide variety of food special to the region. We really loved the part of town we went through, much different from the city area we’d been in. Our guide, Niko was a young Japanese/New Zealander so it was really helpful having someone truly fluent in both languages. He was really friendly and more than happy to take our pictures as well! Great tour, one of our favorite things we did in Osaka!

Jake_W, May 2026

Amy is amazing!!

This was a fantastic experience! It started with lots of communication from Amy on where, when and how to get to where you need to be. She put a lot of effort into coordinating everything and making sure everyone got as great of experience as possible! Going to all the sights was super fun and we knew of all the right places to be. Nara park was by far the most favourite of mine. Just watch out for some of the naughty deer, they will get you, hahahaha!

Wonderful guide

Our guide was wonderful. Showed us the train system - didn’t work as we still got lost but not her fault. Visited the shrines on our list and she was so informative and interestingly. It was a long tiring day but worth it and she stopped regularly for drinks and lunch. Particularly loved the wee cafe she stopped at in the afternoon for tea and cake. All costs included which was a surprise.

Osaka Sumo Experience with Live Show and Audience Challenge

Linda_J, Apr 2026

Don’t miss out on this fun way to learn about sumo wrestling.

What an awesome experience! First, we learned about sumo and its history. Then we met the two sumo wrestlers, Kai and Ryuu, who would be performing today. They demonstrated legal and illegal moves. They threw in a little comedy, which was so fun. Next, they invited the audience to participate. How funny was that! Last, they gave everyone an opportunity to have their picture taken with Kai and Ryuu. The staff was also very friendly and helpful. I highly recommend this experience to anyone wanting to have fun while learning about sumo wrestling. It’s totally worth the money.

Hiroshima & Miyajima by Bullet Train from Osaka

Rebecca_a, Apr 2026

Jorge was the highlight

Let’s start with the negatives, we did not get our tickets until 12hours before the bullet train, but that was the only bad thing. Jorge our guide was absolutely amazing, insightful, intelligent and personable. The information he provided for both sites plus life as a Japanese man was very useful, he gave history and then stories on how that history was forged, Ok and for the trip, Miyajima And the floating Tori gate was great, The shrines and temples, and the food all great. Hiroshima and peace park, Jorge had so much historical knowledge and really opened my eyes, Overall for anyone who is interested In Hiroshima book this tour but ask for Jorge.
