Historical Osu Street Food Walking Tour

A striking red main hall, a classic city-temple atmosphere, and beautiful golden alters will be the first stop on this tour. Guests will get to experience this temple with a knowledgeable guide.

Ōsu Shopping Arcade is Nagoya’s most famous covered shopping area: a lively maze of pedestrian arcades near Ōsu Kannon, packed with over 1,200 shops and eateries ranging from street-food snacks and cafés to vintage/secondhand clothing, electronics, anime/subculture goods, and quirky one-off local stores. As we move from food stand to food stand guests will be immersed in the charm of this famous area.

Nagonoyama Tumulus is a small kofun (ancient burial mound) tucked into the Ōsu neighborhood, so close to the city bustle that it feels almost surprising when you spot it. It’s a rare chance to see very old archaeology embedded in everyday modern Nagoya.

Banshōji Temple is a fun little “history hit” right in the middle of Nagoya’s Ōsu shopping area. One minute you’re browsing snacks and vintage shops, and the next you’re stepping into a temple with real Sengoku-era connections.
