Begin your journey at your selected meeting point in Osaka or Kyoto. Please check the meeting point details for your selected option before booking. Drive to Amanohashidate, a sandbar connecting both sides of Miyazu Bay. This scenic spot, meaning "Bridge to Heaven," is one of Japan's Three Views. Admire the pine-covered sandbar, white sandy beaches and views of the Aso Sea and the Sea of Japan. During your free time here, visit Chion-ji Temple at the southern end of the sandbar, dedicated to Manjushri, the god of wisdom. See its ancient gate and fan-shaped fortunes. The cable car is optional and at your own expense. Continue to Ine, a fishing village known for its boat houses. Explore the waterfront, shops and restaurants, or take an optional boat ride at your own expense. If the boat is suspended due to wind or waves, enjoy free time on foot instead. Finally, return by bus to Osaka or Kyoto.

Don't just visit Japan. Meet it. Skip the tourist checklist. On this private 4-hour adventure, you and a local English-speaking guide play "sugoroku," a classic Japanese board game, across the real streets of Osaka. After booking, tell us what you love (food, temples, retro streets, shopping or pop culture) and we'll build a personal game board for your group. Every square is a hand-picked local neighborhood on the Osaka Metro map. Roll the dice, ride the train and see where you land! You'll explore 3 to 4 neighborhoods: snack your way through a covered arcade, learn shrine etiquette, browse vintage shops or find a café you'd never spot alone. Transfer squares let you choose your next move, and a wild card lets you name any place you like. There is no fixed start or finish. We begin near your hotel and play until time is almost up, while your guide handles the navigation, stories and fun. Book now and let the dice show you a side of Osaka that is easy to miss.
