Mix of Culture, behind-the-scene stories, Buddhism & Shinto talks, then fun with must-eat Osaka appetizers and sake! We will meet at the Hilton Hotel Lobby near Higashi Umeda Station and head to a Living Museum, where we will step back in time and see how Japanese lived 150~400 years ago. We then head to the oldest Shrine in Osaka, established by the first Emperor of Japan and then to the oldest Temple in Japan, right here in Osaka. Afterwards, we then head into a quiet entertainment district full of locals and then we top it off with Sake and local Osaka foods that you must try when you are here, at the 'heart' of Osaka; Dotonbori Street.

I was traveling by myself at the end of a trip to Japan and wanted to see as much as possible in the area of Kyoto and Osaka. My neighbors had been here in the month of June and spent a day with Richard Hawkins and highly recommended him to me. They found him on triplelights.com and I found him there as well. My day with Richard was fantastic. He is the real deal. He really knows his stuff and is full of great information, great stories and great insights. He also knows all the little, hidden, local, out-of-the-way places for delicious local treats, great sake and interesting temples and shrines that are not on everybody else’s list. We saw so many different areas and neighborhoods in one day and I had a great time. Do yourself a favor and spend the day with Richard.

We went on a tour with Richard and had a fantastic time. We really enjoyed seeing Osaka and learning many new things about Japan and the culture. Richard was very knowledgeable and willing to share with us. Our boys especially enjoyed the tour and bonded with Richard - he was great with kids. We'd definitely go on a tour with him again. Thank you very much Richard!

We spent a fascinating day with Richard touring the sacred and foodie sights of Osaka. Richard’s knowledge of Japanese history and mythology was impressive- more so than any other guide we used during our time in Japan. At the same time he made the tour a lot of fun. Loved the castle and watching Richard interact with locals at the several restaurants we visited.
This tour in Japan is organized by K.K. Spirits of Japan
