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

The tour guide was a friendly and approachable gentleman who could communicate in Chinese. He proactively helped us take memorable photos and told us detailed stories about the local history. The children also really liked him. This was a great experience, and we were very happy to have met this tour guide.

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.

The guide was very knowledgeable and taught us a lot about Japanese history, temples, and shrines. Kuromon Market was interesting, with many delicious-looking foods such as crab and takoyaki. It was a very fun tour.

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.
