Things to do in Shinsekai

This is the iconic tower in Osaka. It is pretty nostalgic when taking the lifts to go up and down the tower. The view is super nice on top. The outdoor top level is free to enter as well. One can enter directly with the Klook QR code but must adhere to the timing of the booking. It’s recommended to choose the early morning time slots to avoid crowd.

An unforgettable night in Osaka thanks to Yuoitchi! Our Shinsekai food tour was already set to be fun, but Yuoitchi took it to a whole new level. He brought incredible energy, humour, and warmth to the entire evening — and even surprised us with his very own karaoke mic, turning the walk into a sing‑along adventure. It was absolutely hilarious and so uniquely Osaka.What meant the most to me was how attentive and caring he was about my food intolerance. Yuoitchi checked every stop, every dish, and every ingredient to make sure I could enjoy the night safely. He explained options clearly, made thoughtful swaps, and never made me feel like a burden. I felt completely looked after.The food was delicious, the atmosphere was electric, and Yuoitchi’s personality tied it all together. He’s entertaining, knowledgeable, and genuinely passionate about giving people a great experience.If you’re doing a Shinsekai night tour, ask for Yuoitchi — he’ll make your Osaka evening unforgettable.

We loved our tour guide, Jin. He explains to us the history and some of the meaning behind some Japanese words which really helps us to know more of the culture behind it. The places he brought us is awesome and the food is good too. We’re exposed to Japanese izakaya culture and the food and the drinks are very good.

Absolutely great experience! I chose the 1.5‑hour night tour, and I’d definitely recommend going for the later time if you’re visiting in summer. I actually ended up with a personal tour, which made the whole drive even better. Seeing Osaka Castle lit up at night, along with the tower, was a highlight. Make sure to arrive at least 30 minutes early, since there’s a short safety video you need to watch before driving. You can also rent a GoPro (extra cost) if you want to capture your driving experience — totally worth it if you want to relive the ride later. Would definitely recommend this to anyone who wants to drive like Mario in Mario Cart 😁 Will definitely be doing this again. 5⭐️ to the crew.

The clothes were all so beautiful, and the staff were incredibly kind, which made the experience wonderful. I'd highly recommend this place to anyone looking to try on a yukata. You can pay an additional fee for accessories or more elaborate yukatas, but even the basic yukatas look much prettier in photos than they do on the hanger! Other places charge around 100,000 won for this kind of quality, but here, for about 60,000 won, I feel like I got my money's worth, especially with the great photos I took! The staff were also very helpful in recommending and helping me choose a yukata. And I definitely recommend getting a hair ornament! It really makes a difference in photos (even if you don't get the unlimited accessory package beforehand, you can pay an additional 550 yen per accessory there). I highly recommend this place for anyone wanting to try on a yukata or kimono!

One of the highlights of our trip. Definitely a must try. The team are very accommodating and really informed us and guides us all throughout. Highly recommended this activity. 😊

A great place to relax and spend some time, even stay for a night (¥1450 extra charge). Towels and lounge wears are provided. The rest area with reclining chairs is available for sleeping. The third floor food court area has many sockets for charging electronic devices.

Highly recommended for anyone traveling to Osaka! The small group size made the tour very convenient and enjoyable, allowing for a more personal experience. Paul, our guide, was extremely knowledgeable about the area and shared lots of interesting information along the way. We had a wonderful time and truly enjoyed the experience. Definitely worth it!

We had a wonderful time; the guide was amazing, and the people we toured with were absolutely lovely. We really got to know the Japanese food culture right on our first stop on this trip. Thank you so much to the team
