Explore Osaka, Japan's Third-Largest City
We'll begin our free tour of Osaka in front of the iconic Opa Starbucks building, where we'll explore fascinating aspects of the local culture and compare various Japanese cities. From there, we'll venture into the Ame-Mura neighborhood, a vibrant area shaped by American influences following World War II, which significantly impacted the Japanese business landscape.
Then, we'll continue our walking tour to the Dotonbori Canal, where we’ll share fascinating stories, including the mysterious curse of Colonel Sanders. Additionally, we'll pause for photos with the iconic Glico sign and glimpse the famous Kuidaore Taro doll.
Next stop? The impressive Hozenji Temple, boasting over 383 years of history, is one of the few structures that survived the bombings of 1945. Here, we'll discover the Buddha of finance and business, vital to understanding the spiritual and economic essence of Osaka.
Finally, our last stop of the day is full of the irresistible aromas of wagyu beef, fresh sashimi, and delicious crab at the Kuromon Market. Here, we'll learn about artisanal food preparation and the tradition of Sakai knives.
Then, 2.5 hours later, we'll bring our free tour of Osaka to an end near the market.
