Osaka Food Tour: 15 Delicious Dishes & 3 drinks at 5 Eateries

eladiachavez, Jun 2026

Fun walking food tour

Loved trying the different foods and learning about the types of restaurants/bars. If it wasn’t for the tour I wouldn’t have tried alot of those dishes. Sara our guide was terrific. It rained the entire excursion but that didn’t stop us, also all the eateries were under roof and covered walk ways. If your picky eater probably not for you- luckily I like everything 😁

Nara Early Morning Tour (Kyoto or Osaka Departure Available)

Hikmat_G, Jun 2026

Exceptional tour before the tourists’ rush

I had a blast with Daiki on this tour. He’s passionate and knowledgeable and very attentive. I highly recommend an early morning visit to beat the rush hour that tends to be overwhelming. If you don’t have all day, that’s the right balance to see everything and experience Nara without rushing through it.

Marcus_C, Jun 2026

Outstanding night at the Shinsekai

This was a great tour of the Shinsekai area, and an amazing variety of delicacies throughout the various stops! Anna, our tour guide, eased us in for introductions and then kept the energy high all night. Definitely one of the most memorable moments of my Japan trip. This was an easygoing, but very very enjoyable experience. I would recommend giving it a shot!

Osaka Kickstart: Hotspots & Hidden Gems Tour

Jack_G, Jun 2026

A great way to spend our...

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.

Full Day Tour of Kyoto with Private Transportation

Danielle_G, May 2026

We had a wonderful day...

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/Kyoto: Arashiyama, Fushimi Inari & Nara Park Day Trip

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!

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!

Hiroshima & Miyajima 1 Day Bus Tour with Bullet Train Tickets

Charlton_G, May 2026

Highly recommend!

I had a wonderful experience touring Hiroshima and Miyajima with Chickako as our guide. She was extremely accommodating, informative, and made the entire day both enjoyable and meaningful. Her knowledge of the history, culture, and significance of the sites we visited added so much depth to the experience and helped bring each location to life. Chickako also did an excellent job ensuring we had sufficient time at each stop, allowing us to fully take in the beauty and importance of Hiroshima and Miyajima without ever feeling rushed. She was patient, organized, and always willing to answer questions and provide helpful insights along the way. Her friendly personality and professionalism made the tour especially memorable. I highly recommend Chickako to anyone looking for an engaging and well-paced tour experience in Hiroshima and Miyajima!

Full Day Hiroshima and Miyajima Tour by Bullet Train from Osaka

Pamela_C, Apr 2026

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.

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.
