Secret Osaka: Our Tour Leaders' Exclusive List in Local Neighborhoods
A personalized Osaka experience built around your interests and your Local Expert's favorite places.Key Facts
Overview
No two versions of Osaka are exactly the same. Before the tour begins, you'll connect with your Local Expert through the TOMOGO! app to discuss your interests, whether that's food, architecture, local culture, quiet neighborhoods, street photography, or simply seeing a side of the city that feels less touristy. Together, you'll shape an experience that reflects what you want to get out of Osaka.
The route is built around your Local Expert's personal recommendations and can evolve naturally throughout the day. One stop might be a neighborhood café, another a tucked-away shrine, local market, gallery, or street with a story worth telling. Rather than following a fixed itinerary, this experience is designed around curiosity, conversation, and discovery. The result is a version of Osaka that feels personal, flexible, and genuinely your own.

Tour Reviews
Had a wonderful time with Roxana showing us local life in Minoh, a side of Osakao would never have seen otherwise. In fact 3 hours wasn’t enough! Will have to make sure I come back and spend time in and around Osaka. Thank you Roxana.
It was so much Fun spending my time with Roxana and explore Secret Osaka!
Our tour guide Roxana was awesome. Our guide was very knowledgeable and passionate about Osaka. Highly recommend the tour to anyone wanting an insider’s view of Osaka.
Coming to a large city can be intimidating. The tour that we got really showed us everything we were interested in. We were able to see a side of Osaka that we may have missed otherwise. I highly would recommend a tour to anyone who wants to see the not so mainstream places of Osaka.
Atif will cater to your needs. He took me to the big popular places because I gave no direction. Make sure to let him know what you want otherwise you’ll be visiting the main attractions. Keep in mind that he doesn’t drink, so be sure to bring a friend along if you’re looking for a drinking buddy.
