Osaka UNESCO World Heritage Site & Winery Tour with Audio Guide
This is a private tour, exclusively for your group. Discover the UNESCO-listed Furuichi Kofun Burial Mounds, a collection of monumental tombs from 1500 years ago that still hold the mysteries of ancient Japan. This tour features audio commentary created by a local host, guiding you to uncover clues from this enigmatic era while walking through the ancient burial landscape. Simply scan QR codes with your smartphone using free internet access and listen in your preferred language — English, French, German, Spanish, or Dutch. After exploring the burial mounds, enjoy a tasting of three local wines at Katashimo Winery’s vineyard and shop. Learn how the same geology and climate that shaped the ancient mounds still influence grape growing and the character of local wines. A cultural and sensory journey rooted in the land itself. Light meals including a Japanese-style egg sandwich with coffee or tea are also provided during the tour at a suitable rest stop depending on weather conditions.
