Discover Osaka in four hours on a guided walking tour that blends famous sights with hidden gems. Begin at Namba Yasaka Shrine, where a giant 12-meter lion head stage is believed to swallow evil spirits and bring good fortune—an unforgettable and symbolic photo stop.

Continue into Nipponbashi (Den-Den Town), Osaka’s hub for anime, manga, retro games, and quirky collectibles. Try a gachapon capsule machine: drop in a coin, twist the knob, and enjoy the surprise toy inside, a fun ritual for both kids and adults.

At Kuromon Market, called “Osaka’s Kitchen,” stroll past colorful stalls of seafood, produce, and local ingredients. Feel the lively calls of vendors and catch a glimpse of everyday Osaka culture.

Finish in Dōtonbori, snapping photos at the iconic Glico sign and neon canal. Then step into Hōzenji Temple with its moss-covered statue and wander lantern-lit alleys that reveal the nostalgic soul of old Osaka.

Namba Yasaka Shrine

Hidden in the backstreets of Namba, Namba Yasaka Shrine is one of Osaka’s most unique spots. Its highlight is a giant 12-meter lion head stage, said to swallow evil spirits and bring good fortune. Visitors can take striking photos in front of the open mouth, a favorite for families and groups. With your guide, learn the story behind this unusual design and its role in local festivals. You’ll also experience simple Shinto rituals, such as washing your hands at the purification fountain and offering a coin for good luck. A peaceful stop, yet full of character, just minutes from bustling Dotonbori.

The guide didn’t just show us places — she shared stories, legends, and meanings behind them. The tale of the lion swallowing evil spirits was powerful, and watching locals pray felt very moving. Later, we laughed over capsule toys and savored juicy wagyu skewers at Kuromon market. Highly recommended.
