Overview

The Shinsekai district is unique — there is nothing really like it anywhere else in Japan. The neighborhood dates back to the early 1900s and grew in popularity through the post-war “Showa” era until the 1960s. An exploration in this colorful neighborhood really is very “Local-Osaka.” It’s always so much fun, at any time of day!

Although people visit from across Japan and around the world, this area is still very much a locals’ spot- with many shops, restaurants, and gaming parlors catering to the everyday laborers who live nearby. This retro district is full of inexpensive local dining and entertainment options. Take a stroll with our local expert and we will show you the hidden gems and explain the colorful history of Shinsekai through the years. You will get to try different local dishes at 4 different shops. Each item has a long history in the Osaka area.

We had a fantastic food tour with Sae. She was very knowledgeable and so friendly. Sae took us to the best places- we would never have found them without her. We had so much fun and the food was amazing.

Our tour guide was Micky and Hana was her assistant. Micky was filled with a lot of knowledge and very informative. Hana was wonderful and answered any questions we had. The tour felt rushed and it felt like conversation wasn't encouraged.

Had a fantastic tour with Ike. Went to great backstreet places we would never have come across. Tried some delicious fresh food, suitable for all of us, meat eaters, fish lovers and vegetarians. Ike was friendly and knowledgeable about the local area as well as about the food. It was a great tour.
