Activity itinerary

Pulala Tenma
  • 1h 30m
  • Admission ticket included
We've got lots to show you in this historic area, and not just related to food either. Over the course of a 35 minute stroll, you'll learn about the history and now of this part of Osaka. We'll also visit two different restaurants here in Tenma, spending about half an hour in each. This is THE foodie city, so let's get down to the details! Food will vary by restaurant and your tastes over the course of the evening, but typical dishes include kushi katsu (various fried food on sticks), dote nikomi (slow cooked beef... parts), "tonpei yaki" (a grilled pork and egg dish), poached chicken with sesame seed dressing, slow simmered vegetables in a light soya sauce fish stock, lightly pickled mackerel, and much more! We always serve at least ten dishes on our tours. Incidentally, for those looking for something extra beefy, we offer the option of adding 100g (3.5 oz.) of well-marbled Kobe (or nearby) beef at one of our stops. Delicious, but plenty of food tonight even without the beef.
Ogimachi Park
  • 15m
Though most of our time will be spent in a lively warren of smaller streets, we take a little break here to see one of Osaka's favourite green spaces. Nice views, and great cherry blossoms too during spring.
Tenjimbashisuji Shopping Street
  • 15m
The longest covered shopping street in Japan, Tenjinbashisuji has a duly long name to match! We're not about shopping on this tour, but we'll walk down a short portion of the street to get a feel for the scene. Almost all the stores are local, so it's not like the homogenized shopping areas in so many other central parts of the city. Speaking of small scale, since our tours never have more than six guests, we are welcomed into restaurants as part of the family - not as a factory processed tour brigade. You can absolutely count on some fun local interaction!
Kyobashi Station
  • 1h
  • Admission ticket included
After we've thoroughly surveyed Tenma, we'll hop on a train (fare included) for the short ride to Kyobashi, our second area of the evening. It's here where the famous Tokaido road from Tokyo to Osaka has entered our fair city for centuries. The neighborhood's vibe is a tiny bit more salubrious, but equally fun - and filled to the brim with character. In Kyobashi, we'll walk around about 10 minutes before stopping at a final "standing bar" for more food and drink (included). We love this area because people are super friendly, and the neon and architecture in general still looks just as it must have in the 1960s when Kyobashi really grew into its own during the post-war boom.
