(13 reviews)
Osaka, Japan

3 to 4 hours (approximately)

Step off the tourist trail and experience Osaka like a local with food, drinks, and hidden stories in Nishinari, the city’s most misunderstood district.
This small-group walking tour (max 5 guests) takes you to hand-picked neighborhood restaurants where you’ll enjoy authentic local dishes, each served with a drink.

Between food stops, we’ll follow part of an old samurai pilgrim route and wander through retro backstreets filled with colorful street art and history. Along the way, you’ll hear surprising stories of resilience, creativity, and everyday Osaka life.

More than just a meal, this is a cultural journey that supports family-run businesses during quieter hours and creates opportunities for genuine connection. The tour wraps up around 7–8 PM at Tengachaya Station — perfectly timed to continue exploring Osaka’s nightlife or return to your hotel for a relaxed evening.
