Get the chance to sample 8 of Osaka's local delicacies, from okonomiyaki, which is a type of savory pancake, to kushikatsu and takoyaki, a delicious traditional Japanese appetizer.
During the tour, visit popular tourist attractions as well as off-the-beaten-track local fooderies as you learn about Osaka's development. Witness the striking contrasts between modern and traditional architecture as you make your way between unchanged, traditional building and modern developments.
◼︎Feel the nostalgia of the past in Shinsekai with your palate with local foods such as Kushikatsu
This 3-hour food journey will start with visiting the Shinto shine in Shinsekai. You will learn how Shinto is related to Japanese people's life in this shine that a million of people visit in every new year season! Turning your step into the center of Shinsekai, you will see an old busy commercial district with the Tsutenkaku Tower as the symbol of this area. More than 60 years ago, when the 103 meters observation tower was built, it was a big excitement for the people in Osaka. When you are having Kusikatsu at the center of Shinsekai before heading to Dotonbori, you will have felt the nostalgic atmosphere of this town!
◼︎Step in time as your guide takes you through a food alley from the past
The "museum-like" alley will give you a virtual experience of how the center of Osaka used to be more than 80 years ago. You wouldn't believe how much you can explore in this narrow alley which is only 1.2m in width. The arts on the walls creates a special atmosphere and reminds people how the place looked like in the old days. After coming out of the alley, we'll be going to a small but quaint temple which lies between the bright neon signs and the shopping streets of Namba. Stepping through the entrance of the temple is very much like stepping out of the modern world and into the past. It's worth learning Osaka's history as a short break of this food journey before heading to the local Okonomioyaki restaurant in this Dotonbori area!
◼︎Stuff yourself like you mean it at Dotonbori, the "nation's kitchen" with local foods like okonomiyaki and takoyaki
Dotonbori has been the symbol of Osaka for a long time! Historically a merchant city and during the Edo period, it served as a center for the rice trade. That's why it has also been known as the "nation's kitchen". It was an essential place for Japanese people and it remains to be the busiest part of Osaka. Let's visit the local recommended Okonomiyaki and Takoyaki spots in this "nation's kitchen", Dotonbori to end this food journey in Osaka!
