Overview

This 3-hour Osaka Food Tour in the famous foodie neighborhood of Dotonbori & Namba will take you on an unforgettable eating excursion through the busy streets and the hidden, less frequented parts of Minami (South) Osaka. The tour kicks off in the busy Dotonbori area where we will learn about Glico man, a Filipino sprinter named Fortunato Catalon who inspired a nation and a company! Similar to Shibuya (its counterpart in Tokyo) the sights and sounds of Dotounburi often lead you astray to overly-commercialized restaurants with queues of tourists outside. We want to take our guests to places they would certainly miss without local guidance. We will take secret alleys not long after we begin the tour toward the shrine hidden from sight for the average passerby.

Food tour through Dotonbori taking in food amongst the new and historical area

Published on Dec, 2024

Excellent, informative tour from guide Chiyoe who even offered to take my wife who was unable to attend, on the following day. A great introduction to the wide variety of typical Japanese foods in the vibrant Dotonbori area, favourite was the Tokoyaki - 'Oishi desu'

A Great Food Experience

Published on Nov, 2024

Kevin was a first class guide for our food tour. With just the three of us it was a very personal experience. We learnt about both the food but also more about the Japanese culture. We not only visited a variety of food experiences but also a few other cultural places of interest. I'll not say we enjoyed everything we ate but that was about our taste - we tried a number of foods we would not have ordered in a restaurant and some we enjoyed! One of the restaurant/bars he took us to became a 'favourite' and we revisited it on a couple of occasions to eat: we would never have found it without Kevin!

Osaka food

Great location for a tour. Our guide Kevin was very knowledgeable and fun to be with. The food was awesome, fun trying different things.

Great introduction to the neighborhood

Published on Sep, 2024

My husband and I loved this tour! Micky was a fantastic guide - knowledgeable, friendly, and caring. We did this tour on our first day in Osaka, and it was a great way to get oriented to the neighborhood. We learned so much about the history and culture of the area, in addition to enjoying lots of fantastic food!

Osaka Treats

Published on Jun, 2024

Our guide, Ken took us to 4 different establishments and regaled us with stories about Japan along the way. He was entertaining, enthusiastic and knowledgeable. The tour made it easy to try different places without worrying about reservations for a larger party and the language barrier that comes with ordering.
