This is your tour if you demand a private tour with both the big sights as well as a walk on the local side. Plus, since Osaka is "Japan's Kitchen", food will be ever-present, both delightfully downmarket and astoundingly upmarket at times.
In the "top sights" category, no trip to Osaka would be complete with a stop at Osaka Castle, but after that, we dig a little deeper into the neighborhoods. We finish off with another top sight though, this time the famous Dotonbori, but we don't leave too much time to spend there, as we assume you will browse about the area on your own.
Your guide will be a native or near-native English speaker (or other language, if that option is selected) who also speaks Japanese, guaranteed. And since this is a private tour, we're happy to make modifications based on your specific interests (additional expenses should be covered by our guests).
Bonus for families: First kid free!

The guide Francois was informative and articulate. A wet day on the tour did not help, but he made it worth the while.
There were 2 couples for this tour and both were left wondering whether the guide would turn up in the rain. He did arrive on time, but it would have helped if the guide's number was provided to us in advance. Also providing a landmark along with the meeting point address would have help alleviate unnecessary anxiety for the tourists.

Great experience visiting Osaka with our guide Ferdinand over half a day between small and big stories. We were in a small group, two couples, walking the streets and the main sites of this beautiful city full of good energy. We recommend!

We recently joined our guide, Kevin, for a half day walking tour of Osaka. We had a great time exploring the highlights of the city as well as some”off the beaten path” spots. We loved discussing the culture and history of Osaka with Kevin, who offered a frank, modern and insightful view of the city. We were easily guided through the subway to visit Osaka Castle, the Korean market, the entertainment district, and he even walked us through a Pachinko game space! Kevin was very knowledgeable regarding Japan’s political and social history- but he was never boring! After three weeks in Japan, and experiencing many other tours, the last day with Kevin ranks as an A+! In addition, Kevin and the Pinpoint staff arranged for luggage storage during our tour and a taxi to take us to the airport. Definitely would use them again when we return to fantastic Japan. And- thanks again to super guide Kevin!

My wife, 2 adult sons, and I thought Kevin was one of the best guides we have experienced. He was knowledgeable, attentive, friendly and funny. Our Osaka tour will be a highlight of our trip. Thank you, Kevin.
