Highlights

This isn’t just a sightseeing walk—it’s your personalized half-day experience in Osaka. Whether you're interested in temples, street food alleys, shopping arcades, or lesser-known cultural spots, your local host will tailor the day to reflect your travel style.


You’ll explore neighborhoods like Shinsekai or Dōtonbori, visit historic landmarks such as Osaka Castle and Shitennoji Temple, and discover quieter streets and traditional areas where everyday life unfolds. Along the way, your host will share personal stories, cultural insights, and practical tips to help you experience the city as locals do.


After booking, you’ll receive a short questionnaire to share your interests and preferences. Based on your responses, we’ll match you with a like-minded host, and together you’ll co-create an itinerary that brings your version of Osaka to life.
