★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 2,149 reviews · from $73Top rated

Review of Osaka’s 3-hour Shinsekai food tour, with 13 dishes, five eateries, two drinks, local guides, value, and practical tips.

“Great experience with Mari on December 30th getting to sample food and drinks and learn a bit about Shinsekai! I liked that we visited a lot of small businesses that I probably wouldn't have found on my own without a guide. Our group was small - only 9 people - so we could visit small restaurants that a big tour wouldn't have gone to. I definitely recommend this experience for first-time visitors to Osaka.”

The food was delicious throughout, everything was relaxed and well explained. A great introduction to Osaka. Our son has a fish/seafood allergy and Andy was able to arrange suitable alternatives where necessary 10/10”

You will do it ypurself and then enjoy it at the end. The ladies are very friendly and polite, but that s something usual with japanese people.”
