Shinsekai tours

Very kind and knowledgeable guide! Best way to see the city's landmarks.

The tour went better than I expected. It was both a fun and learning experience walking the streets of Osaka while listening to my guide Kevin tell the history and fun facts from each place. I learned a lot and I especially appreciate what we have now in the present. Highly recommended.

One of the best walking tours we have done. The route (slightly different to that advertised) took us around the Namba and Dotonburi areas and showcased the diversity of all the local neighbourhoods. Our guide, Maria, was really engaging and told us lots of amazing facts and shared tips, knowledge and ideas we would never have gleaned from guide books alone. We loved every minute of the tour and would highly recommend.

We enjoyed our tour guide Aoi. She prepared good itinerary for us. She’s patient, flexible and we are able to understand each other. she’s highly recommendable 💜

The 6-Hour Osaka Private Walking Tour is an ideal way to discover the heart of this vibrant city with the personalized touch of a knowledgeable guide. The itinerary is flexible, allowing you to visit iconic landmarks such as Osaka Castle, where you can learn about its rich history, and explore the bustling streets of Dotonbori, famous for its neon lights and street food. Strolling through the tranquil Shitennoji Temple offers a cultural contrast to the lively energy of the city, while hidden gems like quaint local markets or quiet neighborhoods add depth to the experience. The guide’s insights into Osaka’s culture, history, and local life make the tour engaging and memorable.

It was supposed to rain the night before the tour, so it was cloudy and cold enough to see our breath until late morning. However, thanks to our self-proclaimed weather fairy guide, Jeon Ara, we were able to see Mount Fuji on our way back to Tokyo. It was a breathtaking view after a long wait, making for a perfect end to our trip! I appreciated that Guide Jeon Ara adjusted the itinerary based on the weather and on-site conditions, rather than sticking to the planned order. She also gave great recommendations for delicious snacks at each location and provided accurate guidance and explanations. I realized that seeing Mount Fuji is more difficult than expected and requires a lot of luck (😅). Since the temperature is about 5 degrees colder than in downtown Tokyo, I think April would be a great time to visit, as the cherry blossoms will be in full bloom and the weather will be warmer throughout early, mid, and late April. 🌸

2025/12/28 This was my first trip to Fukuoka with my family. We bought a package tour and saw snow in Japan for the first time. We even had a small snowball fight. The tour guide said that the group the day before couldn't make it up because of the snow on the ground. We were lucky today. Although there wasn't much snow on the ground, it was still a great experience. The scenery in Itoshima was really beautiful, and the palm trees were lovely. We had a lot of fun on the swings, and it was a great place to take pictures. The Ichiran factory is also a great place for a walk. At lunchtime, the tour guide arranged for us to eat Ichiran ramen. I heard it was the main store, so we didn't have to wait in line, which was also a great treat. Finally, at Miyajidake Shrine, we enjoyed delicious food and watched the sunset, a perfect combination. So happy!

Had a super time with Nic! All the shared anecdotes and his advice really enhanced our stay in Osaka.
