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.

It was full of surprises. From the calm atmosphere of the shrine to the crazy colors of Nipponbashi’s anime street, every stop had its own personality. The guide's passion and humor made it easy to connect with the city. I left smiling — and with a stomach full of street food!

It was one of the most fascinating tours I’ve ever joined. Ai took us to Namba Yasaka Shrine, where the giant lion head actually “eats” bad luck — I’d never seen anything like it! We walked through anime shops, street food stalls, and neon-lit alleys. By the end, I felt like I truly understood Osaka’s mix of humor, history, and heart. Highly recommended.
