Hozenji Yokocho - Hozenji Temple
A quaint, atmospheric temple nestled in the heart of the city. Its moss-covered statue of Fudo Myo-o is well-known—visitors frequently splash water on it while making a wish. The serene ambiance provides a delightful contrast to the bustling streets of Namba.

5 stars for Kenta and okonomiyaki - Kenta was an amazing guide! Very friendly and knowledgeable. The tour ended up being just me and him so we were able to be flexible depending on what interested me. My favorite part was going down a hidden secret alley off the main street to a quiet shrine and temple. I highly recommend!

A must-do tour in Osaka!! - This tour is so wonderful! Kenta was a great host and he really tailored the tour to my interests. All of the food he recommended was delicious and we stopped by so many amazing stores. He talked through the history of Osaka and visited key monuments and photo spots. Kenta was also attentive - I highly recommend this tour!

A can’t miss tour for exploring Namba and Osaka - I highly recommend this tour as your first experience in Namba area and Osaka. Sayaka was an amazing tour guide and we had so much fun together trying different food, seeing different sites and taking in the history, and even making a detour to play some pachinko! Sayaka was happy to answer any questions and give great insight on the culture of Osaka and its people. The food we tried was very yummy and extremely affordable and I appreciate the ability to guide the tour towards what I wanted to eat and drink (sake!) versus having an already set menu. For the price and quality experience, it would be a mistake to miss this tour! Thank you Sayaka!

Opened our opinion of what Osaka offers. Loved this town. - Refreshing view of the city, the district, food assortment from street vendors, and a good summary of Osaka history. We would recommend any first timers to Osaka to take the tour. Enjoy.

Awesome walking tour! - The tour was great. Uta was very kind and full of knowledge about Osaka about the history and the places we were seeing. It was a whirlwind one and a half hour tour which was amazing!

Fantastic! - I had a fantastic time walking with Miss Momo! She showed me around the best spots in the district and the hidden gems! I recommend coming here at night time to eat around because here has the best food!

Excellent Walking Tour with Momo - The tour was amazing! Tour guide Momo was so friendly, fun, kind, and knowledgeable. She gave great insight into the history and culture of Osaka. She answered my many questions about the city and Japan. In the hot summer sun, she looked for shade and cool places.
She gave suggestions for food stalls, restaurants, souvenirs, things to do, and other tips. I went to some of her suggestions and they were really, really good. I felt like I knew the city better after a great walking tour with Momo. She went above and beyond. If you get the chance, ask for Momo.

Not as stated - Oaska street food and nightlife tours.
I’ve gone on several food and nightlife tours. This was the worst. I mistakenly thought the street food tour would also include tasting local food delicacies. This was not the case.
The guides while knowledgeable about the area. Showing us some very nice restaurants and local foods. Which we walked by.
When asked about when we were going to eat. They said we could buy anything we would like. This tour does not include local foods. When I mentioned that this was a street food tour as well. They stated we have had this problem before people mistakenly thinking that local foods were also included.
The guides were great the company they work for are misleading, if I’ve had this problem and others they should relabel their product as the osaka night life tour.
