Experience Osaka’s street food scene like a local, far from the crowds of Namba and Shinsaibashi in a more local part of town.
This guided walking tour takes you through Tenjinbashisuji, Japan’s longest shopping arcade! Stretching nearly 2-kilometers through the lively Tenma area, this arcade is packed with authentic eateries, area vendors, and a strong local spirit, but remains largely undiscovered by tourists.
As you explore this vibrant arcade in Tenma, you’ll dive into Osaka’s street food with tastings across 7 handpicked stops, including:
• Kushikatsu – deep-fried skewers, from beef to quail eggs to veggies and more
• Takoyaki – Osaka's famous octopus balls, gooey and fresh off the griddle
• Okonomiyaki – savoury Japanese-style pancake, Osaka's signature dish
• Croquettes – crispy and fresh from a local shop that's become a area favourite
• Taiyaki – sweet fish-shaped cakes
• Tofu pudding – silky and smooth, from a shop serving the area for over 30 years
• Sashimi and savoury egg omelette – from a local standing bar
With a small group size, your local guide will share fun insights into the area’s history, Osaka’s unique food culture, and personalised recommendations for the rest of your trip.
Whether you’re in Osaka for 24 hours or a full week, this is the perfect food experience to go beyond the typical stops — and taste the real Osaka.
