Step away from the busy tourist zones and into the heart of Tenjinbashisuji, a nearly two-kilometer-long covered arcade packed with neighborhood shops and local eateries. While most visitors stick to Namba and Shinsaibashi, this tour takes you through an area where locals actually eat, shop, and spend their evenings.

 

As you explore this lively neighborhood near Umeda, you’ll sample a variety of Osaka’s classic street foods, including:

  • Crispy kushikatsu (deep-fried skewers)

  • Classic takoyaki (octopus balls)

  • Savory okonomiyaki (Japanese-style pancake)

  • Fresh-fried croquettes

  • Warm, sweet taiyaki

  • Silky tofu pudding

 

Along the way, your guide will share stories about Osaka’s famously casual food culture, the history of Tenjinbashisuji, and why many locals consider Osaka to be Japan’s true culinary capital.

 

Whether it’s your first visit to Osaka or your fifth, this tour is designed to take you deeper into the city - and leave you happily full.
