Highlights
Osaka is a bustling city chock full of "big city" things to do, but there's another side to it as well. This tour takes you from your hotel to notable temples, a historic entertainment quarter, gardens, and the famous "kofun" tombs in Osaka and south to Sakai City, all in a private, luxury vehicle. Your native or equivalent English-speaking driver/guide will ensure the trip is light and fun, while also keeping it intellectually stimulating and informative in a well-rounded, accessible way.
As this is a private tour, discussions about changes to the itinerary are welcome! Depending on your request, additional charges may apply.
Itinerary
Osaka Castle
1 hours 30 minsAdmission Ticket FreeWe walk the grounds right up to the castle, but do not enter the building itself (we find it rather disappointing inside, but the outside is great!). The stronghold of Osaka, this imposing structure and lovely surrounding grounds are must-see for any visitor to Osaka.Shitennoji
1 hoursAdmission Ticket FreeSaid to be Japan's oldest Buddhist temple, the buildings, grounds, and stories will engage and impress. When open (they are a bit fickle), we also check out their lovely Japanese garden (300 yen per adult extra).Shinsekai
30 minsAdmission Ticket FreeA blast of an older entertainment quarter, we see some of Osaka's most emblematic sights on our walkabout.Sumiyoshi Taisha Shrine
1 hoursAdmission Ticket FreeMaking for a great contrast with Shitennoji Temple, this Shinto shrine beautifully unfolds across ancient and hallowed grounds. Come breathe in 1500 years of history.Sakai City Hall Observatory 21st Flour
30 minsAdmission Ticket FreeTake in a spectacular view of Osaka to the north, the mountains demarcating Nara to the east, and the coast to the west and south.Daisen Park
1 hoursAdmission Ticket Not IncludedA very lightly touristed, beautiful Japanese garden just a bit south of Osaka proper, Daisen Park's garden will delight as you stroll around its pond and deeper along its lovely landscaped stream. Admission is 200 yen. While here, we also gaze out across one of the largest tomb sites in the world, that of Emperor Nintoku from around the 5th century.
