Visiting Nara from Osaka ～truly the must-see place in Japan～
Nara: the must-see place in Japan. Nara was the capital of ancient Japan before Kyoto became the capital. In the Nara era, Buddhism played an important role in stabilizing the country. So you can see many big old temples there. Many of these are listed as UNESCO World Heritage sites and are concentrated in a small area. So, if you have only one free day to spend in the Kansai area, I highly recommend visiting Nara.

Osaka Gourmet City, feasts for Eyes & Mouth
In the 16th century, a military commander who unified Japan built Osaka Castle and attracted merchants from neighboring cities to a castle town. He also developed an extensive canal network, connecting it to other parts of Japan via the Seto Inland Sea. Feudal lords built the warehouses stored rice transported by ship. Merchants opened markets to buy and sell specialties. The interaction between shopkeepers and customers fostered Osaka's rich food culture and friendly spirit.

“Best Tour of our Trip”
If you are in Osaka, Leo should be your only guide. We had an excellent tour with Leo. I highly recommend him. He had great communication to create a custom tour for us. He arrived early at our hotel lobby. He spoke excellent English at a very natural and fluent level (even knew the modern slang words my teens use). He was very kind and my kids loved him. He was very social and we we were able to learn the most about local culture and life in Osaka. He was very informative about the many sights we visited. He took great photos of our family. He took us to the castle, Tsutenkaku, and Dotonbori. He took us to a bonus visit at Don Quixote and Pokémon Center for the teens. He helped us with ordering lunch. He was very knowledgeable getting around the trains and buses. It made our day a breeze. He was our favorite guide during our two week trip. We really enjoyed our day and Leo made it very special. Thank you.

“Great Night in Osaka ”
Teri did a great job. It was more like a good friend showing us food we have never tried. We also had a good mix of sign seeing as well. She pushed our comfort zone but also never made us feel bad if we didn’t like what she ordered. The time will fly. If you are looking for a very nice person to show you Osaka Teri has my highest recommendation.
