Travel in Style Osaka Tour – Make the Most of a Day in Osaka

– Enjoy a tour in a private van and see a number of highlights of Osaka. This all-inclusive tour includes lunch – an Osaka soul food.

Here’s your itinerary:

On your car tour of Osaka, you’ll:

– Stroll through the beautiful grounds of imposing Osaka Castle and relive what it was like to enter through the massive gates and fortifications as a samurai.

– Come face-to-face with the fearsome warlord who built this stronghold in the 16th century and visit the shrine where he once prayed for success over his enemies (where you can pray for success in your career and marriage).

– Wander through the extensive grounds of Japan’s oldest Buddhist temple, built by Prince Shotoku in 593 to introduce Buddhism to Japan.

– Relax in a peaceful priest’s garden, fashioned on Buddhist Paradise, while being lulled by the resounding gong of the large temple bell.

– Experience a traditional Osaka lunch at the best okonomiyaki restaurant in Osaka, eating this delicious Osaka soul food prepared by the affable Ono brothers, and washing it down with a cold beer (or other beverage of your choice).

– Get a bird’s eye view of Osaka from the tallest building in Japan and browse the beautiful Japanese sweets in the building’s confectionary area.

– Stand under Osaka’s version of the Eiffel Tower and relieve an age 110 years ago in this retro area of Osaka.

– Rub Billiken’s feet for good luck, watch old men playing Shogi (Japanese chess) in an ancient parlour, try your hand at shooting for prizes at an antique cork gun shooting gallery, and peruse the sometimes “risque” posters at the old world movie theaters hidden in the back streets of this old “new world”.

– Explore a street dedicated to cooking, where you’ll encounter giant cook pots, rows upon rows of Japanese knives for every kitchen task, a large beckoning cat, and plastic food.

– Discover a tiny alley that most don’t even know exists and take a step back in time to an earlier era.

– Marvel at clacking giant crabs, slithering dragons, sushi large enough to feed an army, and other excessive storefront decorations as you head over to mimic the famous Running Man.
