Experience Cooking Takoyaki in its Birthplace, Osaka

"Takoyaki" is a traditional food that originated in Osaka. It is cooked in a special takoyaki machine and eaten with a toothpick. Many tourists who visit Osaka buy takoyaki at stores, but locals often make them at home. They gather with family and friends and spend a fun time cooking and eating takoyaki together. The filling doesn't have to be octopus! You can add your favorite fillings, such as cheese or crab sticks. During this experience, you can also enjoy Ramune, a traditional Japanese carbonated drink, with your takoyaki. We hope you will experience the joy of making and eating "takoyaki," the pride of Osaka, together in the region where it originated.

Kyoto Full-Day Excursion from Kobe (Osaka) Port

This tour is planned for tourists from Kobe or Osaka Port. Kyoto, Nara, Himeji, Hiroshima, and Osaka are within a day-trip zone. Kyoto is recommendable for fans of Japanese history and culture. Beautiful scenery, Gion walking, and food are also fun to experience. Nara is a sanctuary for Shintoists and Buddhists, inviting you to deep spiritualism. In Osaka, you will enjoy food and young energy. People are friendly. Osaka Castle is a must-see spot. Himeji Castle is an ideal place for history fans—a half-day tour. Going around Himeji and Osaka Castle is possible, but it is a little busy. From time to time, cruise clients on the same ship ask for guides around Kyoto separately. I may ask you to share the tour with another group. In that case, your tour cost will be lower. As cruise excursions have time limitations, please contact me individually.
