Kuromon Market - We’ll step into some fish market stores that look unremarkable from the outside but when inside exposes seafood heaven. Watch a store cut and prepare a fugu(puffer fish). Learn how to cut a tuna…. Salmon sashimi is some of the best I’ve had in Japan.

Osaka Castle - Osaka’s most notable structure. The park surrounding will also be explored mentioning its role in how it unified Japan!

Tower Knives Osaka - We get a private knife lesson here. Understand the whole process of how a knife is made (crafted at the rear of the building). After you’ll get to experience cutting with these world famous knives of Sakai (made in the south of Osaka). This lesson is included in the price.

Hozenji Yokocho - These hard to find winding, cobblestone alleys steeped with character & tradition is remarkable . We’ll also find walls painted with Osaka’s history etched into it.

Morimoto Tatami Shop - This concealed tatami shop off the main shopping area gives us a class on how the tatami mats are made with the igusa rush grass. Very unique experience!

America Mura - We’ll guide you to hidden streets in this area where it has Japan’s version of what they think America is. hahah, it even has a statue of liberty on top of a building

Dotonbori Tsuribori - Visiting Osaka’s Dotonbori River is a must…..one of our highlights. Along side this picturesque scene is a treasure trove full of more than a variety of stores to entertain you.

Nipponbashi Denden Town - It’s tricky navigating these tucked away quirky stores. Thats what we’re here for…to take you to the gaming & cosplay zone and explore your inner nerdy side hahaha

Abeno Harukas - Standing an impressive and staggering 300m tall, Abeno Harukasu is Japan’s tallest building (not structure or tower). Staggering!

Shitennoji - A temple that exudes spirituality…even if you’re not religious like me. Regarded as the first Buddhist and oldest officially administered temple in Japan.

Shinsaibashi-suji Shopping Street - Japanese fashion is unique. Here see the lasted clothing and gadget stores.

New New Ebisubashi - The original bridge was made out of wood in the 1600’s…more than 400yrs later it still stand but now made out of iron. It is at the very heart of Osaka and is known as the local meeting spot.

Osaka Museum of Housing and Living - I’m not a huge fan of museums, but this one is very different. The highlight is a reconstruction of an ancient Osaka town featuring houses, stores and homes of the wealthy & commoners.
