About the Activity

Osaka isn’t just a city I guide in—it’s a place I’ve explored deeply, step by step, as both a local and an artist. For years, I’ve wandered its streets, sketching its changing seasons, uncovering hidden alleys, and connecting with the people who make it special. Now, I want to share that Osaka with you. This isn’t just a walking tour—it’s a journey into the real Osaka, beyond tourist spots, where food, history, and culture come together. • Hidden gems and untold local stories • Food: Takoyaki, okonomiyaki, mochi, and sake (optional tasting) • Lifetime access to my personal Google Map links • Small-group walking tour through Osaka’s cultural heart • Insider tips and stories from a local Osaka guide • A perfect introduction to Osaka for first-time visitors • Group and private tour options available
