Samurai Experience Osaka Real Katana Training

Experience authentic Japanese sword culture through Yushin-ryu, a martial tradition rooted in Edo Yagyu Shinkage-ryu, one of Japan’s historic samurai schools connected to Yagyū Munenori. In this 60-minute hands-on experience, you will train inside a real dojo where students practice daily. After changing into traditional Japanese hakama attire, you will learn how to handle and draw a sword using a safe practice sword. You will also witness demonstrations of authentic sword techniques performed by practitioners trained under the current headmaster, often called “The Last Modern Samurai.” Yushin-ryu members continue to preserve ancient Japanese martial traditions so they are never lost to history. We also perform ceremonial sword demonstrations at historic shrines and temples in Japan. These sacred performances are traditional offerings to pray for community safety, prosperity, and good harvests. In 2025, we also performed at the Expo 2025 Osaka, Kansai, Japan.

Osaka: Mysterious Back Alleys & BBQ Dinner

Step out of the postcard and into the raw reality of downtown Osaka’s Nishinari district. This night tour lifts the rug to reveal a side of Japan visitors rarely glimpse, navigating narrow alleys, retro storefronts, and corners packed with hidden history. We talk openly and respectfully about the people who built this neighborhood: struggle, pride, the Japanese mafia, social expectations, and homelessness. No question is off-limits. To finish the walk, you'll have the option to pass through Tobita Shinchi, Osaka’s famous red-light district. Afterward, the night flips from gritty to yummy. We’ll settle into a tiny local barbecue spot for a massive BBQ feast! Think smoked hot dogs, brisket, pulled pork, and house specials straight from the smoker. Great food, genuine stories, and every bite directly supports the community that welcomed us.

Osaka Dotonbori Daytime Food Tour

This 3-hour Osaka Food Tour in the famous foodie neighborhood of Dotonbori & Namba will take you on an unforgettable eating excursion through the busy streets and the hidden, less frequented parts of Minami (South) Osaka. The tour kicks off in the busy Dotonbori area where we will learn about Glico man, a Filipino sprinter named Fortunato Catalon who inspired a nation and a company! Similar to Shibuya (its counterpart in Tokyo) the sights and sounds of Dotounburi often lead you astray to overly-commercialized restaurants with queues of tourists outside. We want to take our guests to places they would certainly miss without local guidance. We will take secret alleys not long after we begin the tour toward the shrine hidden from sight for the average passerby.
