Osaka fue una parada de dos dias del crucero y Takashi hizo que aprovecharamos el tiempo al maximo, el primer dias nos movilizamos en un vans que alquilamos de Osaka a Kioto y visitamos todos los sitios mas relevantes, ir con Takashi nos permitió movilizarnos rápido, luego regresamos a Osaka y nos orientó en lo que debíamos hacer por nuestra cuenta. El segundo día nos recogió en la terminal y salimos juntos a Nara, recorrimos Nara y al medio día regresamos a Osaka para terminar de recorrer los sitios mas emblemáticos de Osaka y luego nos llevo a la terminal de cruceros. Takashi es una persona muy educada que nos fue explicando la historia en los diferentes sitios visitados, fue muy eficiente en el uso del tiempo y gracias a él, en el poco tiempo que tuvimos en Osaka, logramos conocer 3 ciudades. Habla perfectamente bien el español, fue un guia EXCELENTE!!

“Exploring Nara (day trip from Osaka)”

We had the most amazing day exploring Nara with Masahisa - or Mike, as he likes to be called. He met us at the Osaka port and was such a lovely, energetic guide who knows Nara inside out, having lived there for many years. We caught the local train from Osaka to Nara, and Mike expertly navigated us through the crowds to all the best spots in Nara Park - even stopping along the way at Nakatanidou for some freshly made mochi (a must-try!). It was a big day of walking, but Mike smartly suggested we take the local shuttle bus between a few of the temples and shrines to give our legs a rest. Feeding the friendly deer (with crackers provided by Mike) was definitely a highlight, as was visiting the serene Yoshikien Japanese Garden. Lunch at a traditional soba noodle restaurant was another memorable moment - simple, authentic, and delicious. Mike is such a kind and generous guide who genuinely loves meeting people from around the world. His passion for sharing Japan’s history and culture made the day extra special. We couldn’t recommend him more highly!

Lisa Thank you again for visiting us from afar. Although our time together was limited, I sincerely hope you were able to touch at least a glimpse of the atmosphere of the ancient capital, Nara. Your visit brought back memories of my time in Perth. I still vividly recall a photo I took back then at the Pinnacles, where the dazzling contrast between the white sandy beach and the deep navy sky remains striking, even as the photo itself has aged. I forgot to mention this during your visit, but unlike Fremantle Prison, Nara will soon be home to Japan’s first luxury hotel utilizing a former prison designated as an Important Cultural Property. It is scheduled to open in 2026. Wishing you all a safe journey home. Thanks Masahisa

“Perfect day tour to Nara ”

We had an absolutely wonderful private tour to Nara from Osaka! Kaori was not only knowledgeable but also incredibly kind and attentive. From the moment we were picked up, everything was smooth and perfectly organized. She shared fascinating stories about Japan’s history and culture, and brought each site—like Todai-ji Temple and the Great Buddha—to life with insights. We also loved how she led us through the peaceful paths of Nara Park. What really stood out was her genuine passion and thoughtfulness—he noticed what interested us most and adjusted the pace accordingly, making the day feel relaxed yet full of highlights. It was the perfect mix of learning, nature, and fun. We couldn’t have asked for a better guide or a more memorable experience in Nara. Highly recommended for anyone visiting from Osaka!
