Osaka Tours and Trips 2024/2025

Osaka has a reputation for being a little more playful and a little less conservative than other Japanese destinations. The blend of old and new architecture, extensive parklands, and lively night spots that make an Osaka holiday so worthwhile. A trip to Osaka is therefore a great way of seeing the lighter side to the Japanese character and enhance your Japan tour

Osaka Tour Reviews

5 - Excellent
Based on 47 customer reviews
Loads of stuff to take in.
4 - Very Good
  • Anonymous
“The guide was prompt and helpful she would always give some back story on points of interest and present with accuracy the places of interest a person might want to consider visiting (even those that were not included in the itinerary). The places visited were interesting and the optional tours were well thought out. The hotels were in general well placed in the centre of the cities visited with access to shopping malls, restaurants and connections to other places of interest. However some hotels were not very clean. The itinerary could have been enriched with additional tours (e.g. the time spent in Kyoto was not sufficient as a visit to Gion and the Monkey Park are a must see), while some other places could have been excluded such as the trip to Hiroshima. Irrespective of the above the trip was well worth the time and effort.”
Perfect for me
5 - Excellent
  • Dennis Laehn
“The group leader was very good and we were able to experience all the places well with little explanations/suggestions, which was exactly the right thing for me. If you expect to get every detail of every place like a museum tour, you may want to choose another option. However, after we had explored independently, the guide was able to answer most of the questions that arose.”
Excellent

“The highlight of this trip was the small villages and inns, the food (even though I'm not sure I knew what a lot of it was!), and the beautiful forest hikes. A very polite, clean and friendly country. In the end I think the world could use a little more Japan.”

Osaka — Tour Highlights and Travel Tips

Osaka Tour Highlights

  • Taking up more than 100 hectares in the city centre, Osaka-jō (Osaka Castle) is an impressive area combining history and natural beauty at any time of year.
  • Wander the vibrant neon-lit streets of the Dōtombori canal district to get a sense of what modern Japan is all about.
  • Satisfy your taste buds at Kuromon Ichiba Market, where Osaka’s restaurants buy their seafood, but also a great place to sample local cuisine cooked while you wait.
  • Delve beneath the waves at Japan’s foremost aquarium, Kaiyūkan, home to a giant whale shark, penguins, manta rays and almost innumerable species from Japan’s Pacific seas.
  • Explore the impressive five-storey Shitennoji Temple pagoda, Osaka’s oldest temple, dating from an incredible 593AD.

Osaka Travel Tips

  • Summers in Osaka are hot and humid, and winters can be cold, so consider visiting during spring or autumn when the climate is best suited to tourism.
  • Like all Japan’s major cities, Osaka has an efficient public transport system that makes getting around the city a breeze. Look out for the Osaka Amazing Card, that offers unlimited travel, and free entrance to many of city’s main attractions.
  • The high-speed shinkansen bullet train means more expensive Japanese destinations can be easily reached as a day trip. For instance, Kyoto is just 11 minutes away!
  • The Shinsaibashi and Namba wards, close to the entertainment complexes of Dōtombori are probably the best places to stay as a visitor to the city.
  • Make sure you stay out until after dark to catch the city’s neon lighting at its very best!
