Overview

Experience an Osaka coffee and walking tour through nostalgic streets, local cafés, and everyday culture.

Start in Namba with Doguyasuji, Osaka’s historic kitchenware district, then visit Hanada Coffee. See the roasting process, try Japan’s unique hand-drip brewing method, create your own blend, and taste the results.

Explore Shinsekai and Janjan Yokocho, a distinctive retro neighborhood. Stop at a traditional café for Osaka’s famous mixed juice, or another nearby café if full.

Ride the Hankai Tramway from Shin-Imamiya to Imafune, watching the city change from busy streets to older neighborhoods. At Taiyoshi Hyakuban, a remarkable early-20th-century building, learn about its history from outside.

This 4.5-hour tour offers local coffee culture, nostalgic Osaka, a historic tram ride, and lesser-known neighborhoods.

The tour ends in Tennoji. Your guide can advise on your destination. If you plan lunch at Taiyoshi Hyakuban, your guide can escort you there before ending the tour.
