Nostalgic Osaka walk, totally different from Dotonbori (レトロな町家と路地裏にあるカフェ雑貨屋さん巡り)

This walking tour explores the Karahori area, a rare neighborhood in Osaka that survived the air raids of World War Two and still preserves a nostalgic atmosphere. Although it is only about a 20 minute walk from the lively Dotonbori district, the mood here is completely different, offering a quieter and more traditional side of the city. Visitors can enjoy a maze of narrow alleys, old townhouses, and traces of history that reveal how everyday life once looked in Osaka.

The tour is led by a local guide who knows the area deeply and shares places not found in guidebooks. You will discover hidden photogenic spots, visit small tucked away shops and cafes, and walk through a local market street where daily life unfolds naturally. The experience also includes a visit to a tatami workshop to learn how tatami mats are made. This relaxed two hour walk invites you to enjoy a nostalgic Osaka through local eyes.
