Private Tour

Osaka 1 day tour (8 hours).

Osaka, the next major city after Tokyo, is a city that has attracted much attention from overseas in recent years. Since it is an urban area, it is much easier to travel in one of our charter vehicles or charter buses, and you don’t have to worry about carrying around your ever-increasing bags of shopping during the day. Osaka flourished as a commercial city in the past, and Osaka Castle is a tourist attraction at its front and center. The castle tower has materials to learn about the history of the castle and many battles that the castle was the setting for. On the top floor observation deck, you can pretend that you’re the lord of the castle, while looking over the city of Osaka. There are rental services for warrior helmets and kimono (fees apply) where you can take a memorial photo.

We will have lunch at Dotonbori, where you will feel the bustling atmosphere that is distinctly Osaka. It is also fun to snack on everyday food loved by locals, such as Takoyaki, Okonomiyaki, Kushikatsu, which are also very popular with tourists. Lunch will be followed by a little bit of shopping while strolling the streets of Osaka. Built around 1400 years ago, Shitenno-ji Temple is somewhere you’d want to visit with one of our charter vehicles. Although the current structure is a restoration of the original, it still is a valuable building that reflect the architectural style of the time. You can also visit the Treasure House that displays numerous National Treasures and important cultural assets.

The final stop on this tour is The Floating Garden Observatory on the rooftop of the Umeda Sky Building, which is also extremely popular among locals. From the height of 170 m above the ground, you can see the panoramic view of the city of Osaka from an open platform. You can enjoy the beautiful twilight sky at dusk on a sunny day, or the picturesque night lights in the evening. There are a great range of restaurants and shops in the building, so we highly recommend the location for dinner. Even if you enjoy your meals and drinks a bit too much, you can return to the hotel easily if you hire our charter vehicle.

Today 24th Nov 2018, The major Japanese city of Osaka was selected to hold the World Expo in 2025, beating Russia’s Ekaterinburg and the Azerbaijani capital of Baku!!! We will looking forward to seeing all of the tourists coming to Osaka!!!

Osaka     View Tours

Osaka serves as the primary international travel hub into southern Japan, and is one of the nation’s most culturally dynamic cities. Osaka city is the largest city in the Kansai region, and a great center of Japanese arts and culture. As the second largest city in Japan, it is southern Japan’s economic powerhouse. Formerly known as Naniwa, it was Japan’s first capital in the 7th and 8th centuries. And at the forefront of Osaka’s historical treasures stands magnificent Osaka Castle. The original fortress was built by the famed samurai warlord Toyotomi Hideyoshi, though it has had to be rebuilt a few times over the years. The castle tower includes a museum to commemorate the life of Hideyoshi and to honor Osaka Castle’s history. For a slice of contemporary Osaka, there is Dotonbori and Shinsaibashi. Here is where locals go for a night on the town – where they enjoy the local okonomiyaki (a pancake with various toppings) and takoyaki (grilled octopus rolled in dough). The people of Osaka are known to be funny and down-to-earth, although, at times, cruder and pushier than other Japanese people. And Dotonbori is full of classic examples of their blunt and sarcastic sense of humor in the large displays and bright signage lighting up the entertainment district. Please see below for tours that include Osaka:

Osaka, Kyoto, Nara, and Tokyo Tour Route

Day 1: arrival - osaka.

Greetings from Japan! As soon as you arrive at Kansai International Airport, our staff will welcome you and assist you in boarding the private Toyota minivan to your hotel.  Following your check-in at the hotel and a short rest, we will take you to the lively, colorful downtown of Osaka - the Dotonbori area, where a wide variety of delicious flavors of Japan can be sampled. We will serve you a welcome dinner at the 'Kitchen of Japan,' Osaka. After a hearty dinner and a walk, we will take you to your hotel for a good night's rest. 

Accommodation : Prince Park Tower Hotel or Shinagawa Prince Hotel

Day 2: Osaka - Kyoto

Our first stop today is the impressive symbol of Osaka - the Osaka Castle, which was struck by lightning back in 1665. Throughout its history, the castle has been rebuilt and modernized. It now has an elevator on the top floor, which makes it easy to access it. From the observation deck, one can admire the surroundings in a picturesque manner.  

In addition to the Castle and nearby Nishinomaru Garden, you will visit the oldest temple in Japan, Shittenoji Temple, during your tour of Osaka. Japan is a beautiful country that combines old and new in an interesting way. As you explore the traditional sights of Osaka, you'll climb the Umeda Sky Building - an exceptional example of contemporary architecture. You can view the beautiful skyline of Osaka from its floating observatory.  

In the afternoon, we will transfer to Kyoto, the former capital of Japan, where we will visit various Buddhist temples, Shinto shrines, and many other traditional sites. 

Accommodation :  The Prince Kyoto Takaragaike, Autograph Collection 

Meals : Breakfast  

Day 3:  Kyoto

Today, you will visit the Temple of the Golden Pavillion, one of Kyoto's most famous landmarks. It is also known as the Kinkakuji Golden Pavilion. 

Following that, you'll visit Fushimi Inari Taisha, a Shinto shrine. Ten thousand crimson-colored shrine gates, known from the film "Memories of a Geisha," surround the shrine. We will have Buddhist cuisine for lunch, called 'shojin ryori' in Japanese. We then move on to Kiyomizudera, a Buddhist temple with a wooden observation deck offering stunning views of Kyoto. Enjoy strolling through the temple grounds and quaint streets of the area that bring you all the charm of traditional, historical Japan. 

We finish this day in Gion, in downtown Kyoto, one of the most widely recognized geisha districts in the country. 

Accommodation : The Prince Kyoto Takaragaike, Autograph Collection

Meals : Breakfast

Day 4: Nara

 We are spending this day in Nara, the capital of Japan during the 8th century. Nara is only a short train ride away from Kyoto. We begin our visit at Todaiji, a large Buddhist temple complex. In its Great Buddha Hall, you will find the world's largest bronze statue of Buddha. After Todaiji, we will take a stroll in a meticulously designed and maintained Isuien Garden. 

A trip to Nara would not be complete without exploring Nara Park. In the park, you can feed the numerous friendly deer roaming freely, and certainly add more Japanese photos to your growing collection. We will return to Kyoto after visiting the Kasuga Taisha Shinto shrine.  

Meals : Breakfast 

Day 5: Kyoto and Tokyo

On the last morning in Kyoto, you will have the option of participating in optional activities. You can either choose to go on a scenic cycling tour around Kyoto's Arashiyama area where you can admire bamboo forest groves, or you can participate in a traditional tea ceremony and sample Kyoto green tea.  

Having concluded our visit to Western Japan, we will board the so-called 'shinkansen' bullet train and reach Tokyo in just a little over 2 hours. Upon our arrival at Tokyo Station, we will explore and walk around the fashionable, elegant, and vibrant Ginza area before reaching your hotel for a well-deserved overnight rest. 

Meals : Breakfast and Lunch

Day 6: Tokyo

Experience Tokyo on a one-day tour and explore the city guided by a local expert.

First on the itinerary is a visit to the Edo Tokyo Museum and Imperial Palace. The country's history, culture, and traditions are vividly exhibited in these vibrant and diverse places. Moving on, we will stop at the city's old downtown district, Shitamachi, or Asakusa, where ordinary people lived and traded for centuries. We will then embark on a cruise along the Sumida River - surely one of the most enjoyable ways to see and appreciate the greatness of Tokyo.

After the cruise, we will visit the Tokyo Tower. At the end of the tour, we will take you to Harajuku and Omotesando so you can experience Japan's funky, colorful, and stylish side.

Day 7: Hakone (Mt. Fuji)

Get away from Tokyo's hustle and bustle for a day at Hakone, the gateway to Japan's tallest mountain, Mt. Fuji, and the surrounding national park. Spend a day exploring Fuji-Hakone-Izu National Park in your own vehicle as well as Hakone's experiential forms of transportation. Take a ride on the second-longest cable car in the world up Mount Owakudani, and enjoy the sulfurous fumes, hot springs, and hot rivers in this active volcanic area. You'll also want to try Hakone's famous black eggs, the Owakudani. Local legend has it that eating one of these eggs will add seven years to your life. The eggs are hard-boiled in Hakone's sulfuric hot springs. Sail across Lake Ashinoko, a lake formed by a volcanic eruption 3000 years ago, aboard a majestic pirate ship. There is a chance to see Mt. Fuji throughout the day, but please note that she is a notoriously shy mountain and good weather is required.   

Day 8: Tokyo departure

Depending on your departure time, you may have some free time to go shopping or take a stroll alone.  We will transfer you to the airport in a private vehicle.  

Meals: Breakfast
