Spend about four hours tracing Osaka’s food culture from Takashimaya’s polished basement hall to Tenma’s local market, Tsuruhashi Korea Town, Kuromon Market, Doguyasuji, and Dotonbori. Guides including Ferdinand, Kevin, Thomas, Lito, Alejandro, Damian, and Oshi tailor the walk to your interests. Expect plenty of walking, cultural context, and food to buy, but bring extra money because tastings are not included.

“This was a great tour! Ferdinand was an excellent guild! He was very knowledgeable and it was so much fun to learn about the history of not only the food but the markets and the people who run them. He had great recommendations as well. I feel like I'll be telling stories from this tour for a long time!”
