Overview

Walk Osaka. Feel Japan.

This is not just sightseeing — it’s a local walking experience through hidden streets, shrine culture, and everyday Osaka life.

Starting near Namba Yasaka Shrine, you’ll learn proper shrine manners and discover how Japanese values connect to daily life. From there, we explore Kuromon Market, lively shopping streets, quiet back alleys, and finish in the iconic Dotonbori area.

Along the way, I’ll share local stories, cultural insights, and food recommendations you won’t find in guidebooks. You’ll experience both the energetic side of Osaka and its quieter, hidden corners.

This small-group tour is personal and interactive. I adapt the pace and route depending on the group, help with photos, and answer any questions about Japan, culture, or travel.

At the end of the tour, you’ll receive my curated Google Map with restaurant tips and hidden spots, so you can continue exploring Osaka like a local.
