Experience the best of Osaka with Withlocals

"Allysa created the perfect food experience for us including some restrictions we had and we all could enjoy the amazing, local food experience. She’s also very informative and helpful. We had a great time! "

"We were a group of four and enjoyed a food tour with Hiroki in Osaka. I loved that he took us to 3 different spots/restaurants that we probably would not have discovered on our own. I would highly suggest him! Thanks Hiroki for making our food tour so enjoyable. "

"Experienced many interesting local food experiences with Hiromi. Sampled all the local Osaka food specialties. We were stuffed by the end of the evening. Very vibrant areas that we walked through as well as smaller intimate dining experiences. You definitely won’t leave hungry or not having tried all that Osaka had to offer in terms of food. "

"As four friends we have been travelling around Japan for over 3 weeks and have had a great time. We booked a foodie tour in Osaka as we were only there for one day and night and wanted to fit in as much as we could. Hiroki met us at our hotel and we caught the metro to the Shinsekie area where on the way he showed us highlights of the Dotonburi area. I don’t want to spoil it for anyone else but what I can say is that the food and experience was the highlight of our holiday. You will not be disappointed if you book it. Thank you Hiroki!"

"Hiromi was fantastic. She was very attentive to the group and read us fantastically taking us on a tour that matched us perfectly. We would highly recommended as it will be highlight of your time in Japan as it was ours. "

"Last night was an unforgettable food experience beyond the glossy world of Instagram trends. Guided by the wonderful Hiromi-san, we dove deep into the culinary soul of Osaka — into places where locals actually eat, laugh, and live. From the delicate crunch of tempura and the comforting warmth of a perfectly balanced udon bowl, to melt-in-your-mouth sushi prepared with quiet mastery — every stop revealed another layer of authenticity. We sampled Osaka’s iconic takoyaki (crispy on the outside, molten and savory within), followed by freshly steamed buta-man — soft buns filled with juicy pork, radiating pure umami pleasure. This was not a tour for photos, but for the senses. Hiromi-san showed us a side of Osaka most travelers never see — the rhythm of real kitchens, the scent of steam and soy, and the laughter of people who truly love food. Simply outstanding. 昨夜は、ただの「インスタ映え」を超えた忘れられないフードツアーでした。ガイドの**ひろみさん（Hiromi-san）**に導かれ、私たちは大阪の食文化の奥深くへ——地元の人たちが実際に食べる、笑う、そして生きる場所へと足を踏み入れました。 軽やかな衣の天ぷら、出汁の香りが広がる温かいうどん、職人技が光る寿司。そして大阪名物のたこ焼きは外はカリッ、中はとろり。さらに、ふわふわに蒸し上げた豚まん（buta-man）の濃厚な旨味——まさにうま味の極みでした。 このツアーは写真のためではなく、「五感のため」の旅。ひろみさんは、観光客ではなかなか見られない大阪の本当の姿を見せてくれました。湯気と醤油の香り、忙しくも楽しげな厨房、そして食を愛する人々の笑顔。 本当に最高の体験でした。 "

"The two of us enjoyed every second of our tour. I loved that we started near the Tower (touristy area) and then made our way thru different parts of town that we wouldn’t have ventured into. Your English was GREAT and every stop just kept getting better and better. "
