1.5-Hour Osaka Bike Tour to the Neighborhood of Osaka Castle

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 319 reviews · from $87Our pick

Ride with a local guide such as Mike, Masumi, or Ken through Osaka Tenmangu, an Edo-period museum, and Osaka Castle Park. Your six-person-or-smaller group gets lunch, green tea, snacks, and tour photos. Bikes cover more ground, though helmets and insurance are not included.

“We enjoyed our ride with Remi K and it was her first time as a guide. It is a good way to see the Osaka Castle area and some temples, not to mention a close up view of Osaka traffic. Bicycles were dated but as they are reconditioned to support the homeless they were acceptable.”

“We met up with Matt on a rainy day in Osaka (bring a poncho). We weren’t sure if this would be worth the effort given the rain, but Matt did a great job showing us some really cool (and tasty) spots. Some good history, some good views, and a lot of good stories from Matt. Definitely recommend biking Osaka!”
