This Nagoya Street Food Walking Tour takes you through Osu, the city’s most eclectic and delicious neighborhood.
Explore the Osu Shopping District in Nagoya. A lively and iconic area known for its mix of traditional culture, pop culture, and street food. It has a long history dating back over 400 years and is home to Osu Kannon Temple, one of Nagoya’s most famous temples.
Walking through Osu, you’ll find a mix of new and traditional Japanese shops selling antiques, second-hand kimono, and Buddhist items, alongside modern stores with anime merchandise, vintage clothing, and electronics. The area is a hub for otaku culture, with multiple stores dedicated to manga, anime, and gaming.
Food is another major draw in Osu, with a street food scene offering everything from kushikatsu (deep-fried meat skewers) to local specialties like Nagoya-style tebasaki (chicken wings) and gohei mochi (a style of rice cake with sweet and salty sauce).
Unlike the more commercial Sakae district, Osu has a more relaxed, international vibe, attracting a diverse crowd, from tourists and foodies to young creatives and cosplayers. It’s also known for its festivals, such as the Oiran Doshu parade or the Osu Daido-chonin Festival, featuring performances, cosplay parades, and street entertainment.

Our guide Patricia was well versed in the history of the area we visited / an interesting mix of shops ( 2nd hand upmarket ) shrine temples and a burial site !! The food stops were delicious and possibly things that we may never have ordered … most enjoyable but fairly busy on a Saturday.
An incredibly successful, tasty and interestingly designed tour. It was just fun with Desiree and we can only recommend everyone to do a tour like this. (Translated from the original German)
Very well curated tour highlighting a truly unique area of Nagoya and Japan. The guide was
excellent – giving us great insights into Nagoya and Japanese culture. All done in a very
personable, engaging way. Thank you Patricia-san!
We absolutely loved this tour! Our guide was so knowledgeable – we learned a lot about the
area and Nagoya’s history while eating some amazing foods! Highly recommend!
A very nice tour of Nagoya’s street food with a German tour guide. Since she has lived in Japan for several years, there is not only very tasty and varied food but also interesting information about Japan.
The tour lasts 2 hours and can easily be integrated into a round trip as a component.
There were 13 of us and everyone enjoyed the street food.
Gladly again
