Private Osaka Neighborhood Walking Tour: Shinsekai to Dotonbori

About this activity

This private walking tour shows you two sides of Osaka. We start in Shinsekai under Tsutenkaku Tower, walk through the nearby neighborhoods of Nishinari and Nipponbashi, and finish at the Glico sign in Dotonbori.

It is just your group and a local English-speaking guide, so the pace and the time at each stop fit your group. The tour takes about 3 hours and is all on foot.

Food and drinks are not included, so you are free to eat when and where you like. Your guide is happy to point out places to eat along the way and give you suggestions for after the tour.
