Full Day Walking Tour in Osaka Castle Temples and Ukiyoe

There are so many things to do in Osaka and you don’t know what to do? Our tour is what you need. First, we will introduce the historical side of Osaka, focusing on carefully selected must-see spots such as Osaka Castle and Shitennoji. Next, we will visit the grassroots side of Osaka, the Nihonbashi and Dotonbori areas, to get a feel for the difference. We will also take you to experience ukiyo-e, an ancient Japanese traditional art. You will walk around the city in a fun and relaxing way with a locally-based English-speaking guide. This tour will show you not only the Osaka that everyone knows, but also the Osaka that only locals know.

We will enter the Osaka Castle Museum and learn about the history of Osaka and the castle itself. The castle was completed in 1597, but was destroyed many times. It was finally rebuilt by the Japanese government in 1995. The castle is a little different than when it was originally built.

After spending some time in and around the castle, we will head to Shitennoji Temple. It is the first Japanese Buddhist temple in Japan. Here you can see how Buddhism travelled from India to China and eventually landed in Japan thousands of years ago. We will learn some very interesting stories here.

One of Osaka’s leading food markets. Approximately 150 stores selling fresh seafood, vegetables, fruits, food and beverages, clothing, etc. are lined up in an area approximately 580 metres south of Sennichimae.

Once you have had your fill of delicious food, we will head to a unique shrine around the area. And we will spend some time in the famous Dotonbori area. The symbolic business and downtown area of Minami, Osaka, is lined with huge three-dimensional billboards. It is not just about eating again if you are still not full. Here you will also have a traditional Japanese art experience, Ukiyoe. The earliest ukiyoe works were found in the 1670s and flourished from the 17th to the 19th century. It has now become one of the representative images of Japan.

After that, we will walk through Shinsaibashi, the city’s main shopping area and return to Osaka and Shin-Osaka Station
