Discover the stories behind Osaka’s illuminated landmarks and quieter backstreets on a guided ghost tour from Osaka Castle to Namba. This evening experience combines ghost stories, urban legends and dark historical context.

Meet your guide at Osakajokoen Station and explore the area around Osaka Castle, hearing about the Siege of Osaka, the fall of the Toyotomi clan and the legends associated with the castle’s turbulent past.

Continue by train toward Namba, where the route takes in Sennichimae, Hozenji Yokocho and Dotonbori. Hear local tales and stories of curses as you explore a different side of the city’s entertainment district. Historical events and supernatural folklore are part of the storytelling; the tour does not promise paranormal encounters.

An English-speaking guide and one alcoholic or non-alcoholic drink are included. Train fares and food are not included, so bring money for the transfer and any personal purchases.

The tour is for guests aged 16 and over. Stories include disturbing themes, including suicide, serial killers and sexual assault. Expect walking on potentially uneven ground. A minimum of two guests is required for the tour to operate.
