Osaka Discovery, full day

Dotonbori, Shinsekai, Osaka is a cosmopolitan city of audacity, hospitality and above all gastronomy.

A guided tour to discover the secrets of Osaka

One thing is certain, Osaka is well worth at least a day of your time. People are often content to use the its airport hub to get to Kyoto, but few take the time to explore it in depth. Would you like to be guided through this labyrinth by an unconditional lover of this great city? You won't miss the breathtaking view from the small hidden terrace overlooking the building, the typically Japanese quirkiness at the corner of a maze of escalators or the sober, futuristic design of a small café on the deck of a building.

Osaka, city of Japanese gastronomy

Osaka is not known for its austerity. In Japan, it is considered the city of laughter and entertainment, especially thanks to the particular banter of the dialect of its inhabitants. Here we eat well, we laugh a lot and the physiognomy of the city is imbued with this warm atmosphere. You are in the gastronomic capital of the Archipelago, the belly of Japan! Osaka, a city with history Although a large part of the town, including the castle keep, was razed to the ground in 1945, its impressive walls still reflect its major historical importance at the crucial turn of the 16th and 17th centuries. Go a little further still and you will pass through Shitennô-ji Temple, the oldest run temple in Japan, which dates back to the 6th century!

Osaka, a city of popular culture
