Experience traditional Japanese art and sample delicious local food in iconic markets. This tour offers a deep dive into Osaka's history, culture, and modern-day charm. Don't miss out—join us and discover the heart of Osaka!
Thanks to the view and the striking design of the building it is a popular attraction but it’s important to note that almost the entire building is dedicated to offices and commercial spaces. Only in the basement will you find any other attraction of note, a restaurant floor that mimics an early Showa Period (1912-1945) town.
