- 1Eat around as walking through Kuromon market Kuromon Market is a shopping street located in Minami, the center of Osaka City. The market got its name from the black mountain gate of Enmyoji Temple, which was located nearby. The specialty is conger eel in summer and puffer fish in winter, and about 10% of the fresh fish stores have puffer fish specialty signs. There are about 150 stores under the 580-meter-long arcade, and the street is always bustling with people. From fresh fish stores to puffer fish and soft-shelled turtle specialty stores, restaurants, and shops selling vegetables, fruit, meat, pickles, dried goods, Japanese sweets, and Western sweets, the street is packed with a variety of shops, and wherever you look, it is full of the lively energy of a market. The fresh fish stores sell skewered seafood, the fruit stores sell fresh juice, and the tea stores sell matcha soft serve ice cream.

- IslandBriez0 contributionsMust Do in Osaka!The Osaka Bar Hopping Night Walking Tour in Namba is an absolute must! We loved this authentic izakaya and whiskey bar experience that took us to three off the beaten path spots. These places were buzzing with locals and Meg did such an incredible job educating us about the culture here in Osaka. We never would’ve found these spots on our own and the hospitality at each place was exceptional. Everything about the tour was so organized and efficient making it so easy and enjoyable the entire time. We tried a variety of different Japanese dishes at the two izakayas and ended the night at a fabulous whiskey bar. Meg was so sweet and we loved everything about this tour! This was the perfect activity to do on our first night in Osaka and was truly an unforgettable evening.Written 18 March 2025

- reneeh3880 contributionsNot worth the priceIt was good to try the 3 kinds of food Osaka is known for. But at $102+/ person, it was not worth it. Look at the food they give you and find your own restaurants serving those foods. Nothing was told to us about how the food is made, the history of the foods, etc. However, our guide friendly and nice. I had no problem with him.Written 17 March 2025

Niko was a great guide that tailored the food tour according to my preferences, and gave me a lot of interesting information about the different foods in the market. She gave a great sushi recommendation for my lunch, which has been the freshest I've tasted so far. If you want to learn more about the variety of Japanese food, I highly recommend this tour!

Our trip had some last minute changes and went from a group trip to a private tour. Aina was great! She chose phenomenal eating locations, mixed in history with current trends, and showed us a great variety. I highly recommend booking with Aina to get a lay of the land and experience first hand the Japanese hospitality.

Riko & Kiyo provided an amazing experience showing me around the Kuromon Fish Market area and beyond. As someone who was nervous travelling by themselves for the time, they made me feel incredibly welcome ! I can't recommend them both enough.

This was a wonderful food tour with Niko who was a great guide! We sampled all kinds of authentic Japanese foods and visited fascinating and unusual shops. Despite torrential rain, Nico wove through the markets mostly under cover to show us hidden treasures of the city. We wandered down lovely narrow lanes in this fabulous city while tasting all kinds of food. Nico was so interesting and kind and fun and at the end of the tour helped us find our correct train. Highly recommended.

I enjoy history and I enjoy food. This tour was a great combination of both. We walked around a couple of the shotengai (roofed market streets) where my tour guide Michi explained the history of the street and of some of the shops. She was extremely knowledgeable of the history and also provided advice about what prices are fair within the market. Overall a great time

I wanted to do a food tour on Osaka and found this last minute while I was already there. The price seemed super reasonable and the activities were plentiful. I got lucky and ended up being the only one on the tour. My guide was Noz and she was so friendly and told me about Kuromon Market, Osaka, and Japanese cuisine. Because I was the only one on the tour the vibe was so chill and I was able to try a variety of food at Kuromon Market. Would definitely recommend this tour for solo and group travelers if you’re looking to try Osaka’s rich food scene!!

Ami was a great tour guide! She introduced us to a variety of local favorite foods, and was very kind about inviting the group to try and also respectfully giving people the option not to try things. She also took us to places to find great kitchen goods at low prices, and taught us about a neat local shrine. She also gave us some recommendations about other places in Japan to visit. Very enjoyable for sure!

Our tour guide was a lovely university student. She took us all around to different markets and was very willing to accommodate us, even though she had some good ideas of what she might recommend. Highly recommend this tour and hoping you get our wonderful tour guide.

Yuki really did it great, we talked so much about japanese food, but she was also interested into the food where we are living. She also explained about the market itselve and the difference between shrine and temple. We enjoyed tje whole time and it went really fast.

Toshi was amazing! We had the best time with him trying out different foods we would have probably hesitated to try on our own and they were all delicious! He was so personable and full of recommendations I couldn’t recommend him enough. Great experience in Osaka, will forever remember him and the awesome unique Japanese food he had us try!
