11/11/23 - Full day of sightseeing in Osaka! Our guide, Marcelo, met us by the Ferris Wheel as planned as we were arriving by cruise ship. We had communicated prior to our arrival and he customized the tour as we had requested. We were able to see many sights / areas in Osaka which included: the Osaka Castle, Tenjimbashi shopping street, JTTRD Cafe which is famous place for their artistic smoothies and were amazing! After that we went on a tour of the Umenoyado sake brewery which was also alot of fun. Our day continued with a visit to the Namba Yasaka - Dragon Shrine which is very unique. From there Marcelo showed us the Sinsekai and Dotonbori districts which are both very vibrant and crowded areas enjoyed by locals and tourists alike. We were able to enjoy some of the foods that Osaka is famous for such as octopus balls, panko crusted vegetable's on a skewer, and the Osaka pancake. Overall, a great day that was packed with fun filled activities from start to finish! We would definitely recommend this tour!
