Osaka Kuromon Market Dotonbori Half-Day Small Group Food Tour

Hiroki,He was not only humorous but also very knowledgeable, and he shared interesting insights about history. His English was clear and easy to understand, so I was able to enjoy the experience without any stress.

I’ve done food tours before that are very structured with small bites at each stop, but this felt completely different in a good way. It was relaxed and personalised, more like being shown around by a local. Yoshi was an excellent guide. We walked through Kuromon Market and Doguyasuji kitchen street, and he really helped cut through what can feel quite touristy. Kuromon can be quite marked up, so it was helpful having someone local to guide us on what’s actually worth it. One highlight was a local restaurant he introduced us to, which was delicious and affordable. I also appreciated that he stepped away so my mum and I could enjoy the meal at our own pace. He went above and beyond by carrying one of our shopping bags and helping me find genuine made in Japan products. He also gave great recommendations for other places in Osaka to try. Overall, a thoughtful and genuinely helpful experience. Highly recommend.

It was a wonderful tour guide experience. Not only did we receive sightseeing guidance, but we also learned a lot from the historical stories. I would love to ask for his services again when I come to Osaka

Ο ξεναγός ήταν ένας ευγενικός κύριος, μπορούσε να επικοινωνήσει στα κινέζικα, και μας βοήθησε ενεργά να βγάλουμε αναμνηστικές φωτογραφίες, ενώ μας διηγήθηκε λεπτομερώς ιστορίες και την προέλευση των τοπικών εθίμων. Τα παιδιά το απόλαυσαν επίσης. Ήταν μια πολύ καλή εμπειρία και είμαστε πολύ χαρούμενοι που συναντήσαμε αυτόν τον ξεναγό.

Yokko was fantastic! She helped us experience Osaka at its best. We were able to sample many different foods and drinks as well as shop!

we enjoyed the tour with yoko, she speaks good english and was very accommodating. we started and ended on time.

ガイドの方が物知りで、日本の歴史、お寺や神社のことを詳しく教えてくれました。黒門市場は、蟹やたこ焼きなど美味しそうなものがたくさんあり、興味深かったです。とても楽しいツアーでした。

The tour was supposed to be 2 hours but the guide said it was finished under 1.5 hours and didn’t take us to the last stop of Namba parks. The guide may be better suited to local language tours as they were difficult to understand and had difficulty explaining or answering questions in English. The guide provided very little information about what we were seeing or the history and no information about the food at the markets even though it’s called a ‘food tour’. The guide asked to take photos with us to promote their tours but didn’t offer to take photos for us as a family which was strange though when asked he was happy to take some for us. The guide insisted we complete a review (different platform) before he left. Overall a disappointing experience and not the quality we have found previously on Klook.
