Sightseeing SUP Tour, Dotonbori Course

Stand-up Paddling (SUP) also locally referred to as “Water surface strolling” is a popular activity that offers you a chance to enjoy the stunning view of Osaka from a rather unique angle. Most people associate SUPs with the seaside, however river SUPs are just as an excellent activity as the sea version.

The highly sought-after Dotonbori course!

This course will take you a lovely trip from β Hommachibashi, through Higashi Yokoborigawa and Doton River, around such popular spots and sights like the Dotonbori promenade or the Glico sign, all the way to the Minatomachi dock. You will be accompanied by a knowledgeable and passionate guide, so you can just relax and enjoy the ride.

Try your hand at making your own, super realistic and adorable plastic food sample!

This tour will give you a chance to create your very own plastic food sample. Once finished it’s yours to keep and bring home as a unique souvenir.

The wax-made food sample making as it used to be done in the good old days is simply fun!

On one hand it is quite easy to make very realistic food samples from wax, however since they are not very heat resistant most of the samples today are made with resin which is more heat resistant. During this experience you can make long-lasting products like a parfait from resin, but also foods like tempura or spaghetti the old-fashioned way from wax!

Using wax is a lot of fun and it actually resembles real cooking in a sense, since you need to scoop the wax with a ladle and then shape it directly with your hands. This activity is very popular with the kids as much as it is with adults simply because it is a blast!
