Questions People Ask

How is Osaka's tour different from the Kyoto tours?

This Osaka route combines the castle grounds with Tamatsukuri and Sanadayama, following samurai history and local ghost stories. The two areas are connected by a metro journey; train fares are extra.

Why wear black?

Partly atmosphere, partly tradition, partly so the night doesn't notice you. It's a request, not a rule.

What is the cancellation policy?

Cancellation is free until 24 hours before the tour. Within 24 hours — including rescheduling, late arrival and no-shows — no refund. If we cancel — bad weather or too few travelers — you get a full refund.
