Overview

Come with us to visit the historic Osaka!

We start with the great Sumiyoshi-taisha Shinto Shrine, a spiritual place with 1,800 years of history. We can admire its traditional Japanese architecture. Then we go to the Shitennoji Buddhist temple, dating from 593. Here, one of the symbols of the arrival of Buddhism in Japan and therefore a must for history lovers, is magnificent!

We continue the tour with Osaka Castle. This medieval castle dates from the late 16th century. So we can learn more about the history of Japanese samurai.

We then go to Shinsekai. The retro atmosphere of the district, with its famous Tsutenkaku tower and the nostalgic atmosphere of the 1970s, takes us back in time.

After that day, you will also have had plenty in your eyes, with the nature and architecture of Osaka. The history of the city will have no secrets for you! Are you coming? We are waiting for you!
