(Subject to Option Inclusions)Itinerary
Osaka Castle
We begin our tour from Osaka Castle. It’s one of the most iconic spot of great historical significance in Osaka. We’ll traverse the park grounds, too, all the while talking about the history, architecture, and significance of the spot. Historically, the castle’s reconstruction has been somewhat indifferent, and we would recommend considering other options instead. Trust us. We spend about 75 minutes here.
Shitennoji
Shitenno-ji, founded in 593 AD by Prince Shotoku, is recognized as Japan’s oldest official temple. With over 1,400 years of history, it stands as a symbol of the introduction of Buddhism to Japan. The temple’s unique layout—from the majestic central gate to the five-story pagoda and main hall—offers visitors a serene and spiritual experience.
Shinsekai
Fun for all ages! This area retains the charming old-world streetscape of Osaka. You can enjoy games, food, and fashion (perhaps heavily skewed toward the eye of the beholder), along with the unique atmosphere that defines Osaka. Don't forget to visit the iconic Tsutenkaku Tower and immerse yourself in the lively, heartfelt spirit of this city. Our typical visit here usually lasts about 60 minutes.
