Overview

you must know the truth…

Discover Osaka, widely known as the birthplace of Japan’s most vibrant food culture and breaking the taboo of history.

Osaka is Japan's rough diamond city of bright neon lights, a vibrant exciting food paradise, but also a city with a deep history which runs right alongside even the most famous modern spots. Osaka is certainly a city of contrasts: the “bright side” and the “dark side”. As your personal ninja guide, I will lead you through the fascinating places in Osaka and share all of this city's deep secrets that nobody else knows.

We start with the bright lively street food culture and work our way deeper into the city's lesser known historical districts, sharing cultural stories along the way. We will discover Osaka's local secrets and surprising hidden past that most tourists will never see.

You'll hear the stories of the city's traditional roots, and experience the modern local street culture.
