Context Travel Osaka Tours with an Expert Guide

Osaka, historically known as the mercantile heart of Japan, has long been famed for its strategic location at the mouth of the Yodo River, fostering trade and culture. This city, once a modest fishing village, evolved into a pivotal urban hub during the feudal era, particularly noted for its castle, which symbolizes the might of Toyotomi Hideyoshi, one of Japan's unifiers. Over time, Osaka has earned the moniker "the Nation's Kitchen" due to its role as a culinary epicenter, where the art of food transcends mere sustenance to become a cultural narrative.

Nick was a terrific guide. Shared some valuable insights into the history behind the Osaka Castle. We had an enjoyable afternoon. We highly recommend Nick and Context travel!
Our family had a lot of fun with Nick. He was informative and quite witty! He explained the history of the Osaka castle, and the time period around it. We then went to the markets in dontonbori and he made sure our teenagers saw the popular sites, like the Glico man and the tailless dragon! Nick was very accommodating as we ended up at the fish market, so my daughter could get her photo of a puffer fish!
We loved this tour! Miyo was fantastic and so thoughtful. We tried great food and loved her insight.
