Why choose this Osaka tour ?
Ohhhh Tokyo, with your big corporate headquarters and massive mobs of people doing very important things. And then Kyoto, with your high culture, fancy temples, gardens, and refinement. Yay. But this is OSAKA, and — how to put it nicely? — we don’t care about your charmed lives. We care about eating.
Come see (1) an upscale department store marketplace, (2) the famous Kuromon Ichiba, where delicacies raw and cooked clamor for your tongue, (3) a Japanese infused Korea Town where few tourists venture to tread, and (4) a historic neighborhood resplendent with meats, fish, vegetables, plus other staples and stupefieables catering to locals. At your side will be a native English speaking, friendly, Osaka-infused soul, eager to explain every little aspect of this big world of food. Get ready to dig in on this adventure of sights, smells, and flavors!

What makes Deep Dive: Osaka Food Markets from Local to Luxurious! a unique experience ?
“Depachika” are department store underground food halls, and we’re going to show you one of the nicest in the area. Beautiful foods of all variety are on display, be they raw ingredients, Western or Japanese sweets, or other Japanese specialties.
See a local wet market up close and personal, without the tourist hordes. Local seafood, meats, vegetables, and more are all on display, and your guide will talk about how all these tasty elements come together in Japanese cuisine.
Learn about the history and modern day role of this longest covered shopping street in Japan. We’ll pop into a very Osaka supermarket as well, and give you the low-down.
Explore Osaka’s busiest and most interesting Korea Town. Not just food, but culturally indicative clothing and other goods are also on display for your perusal. A good chance to buy a tasty snack or two as well!
We’d be remiss to not show you this open market that is currently the darling of the visitor scene. Prices are a bit high here, but the sights are supreme, and the quality is most certainly there.
Kitchenware galore awaits you in Doguyasuji. A great place to pick up a Japanese cooking knife, wax sushi models, Japanese ceramics and other serving dishes. Tea cups and lacquer chopsticks round out a nice selection of souvenirs to take home.
With any remaining time, we’ll explore some of the top sights in the Namba/Dotonbori area.
