Osaka Private Tours

“A fabulous night at authentic local venues in Osaka”

Ryoko took us out for an amazing evening in Osaka - each of the three stops she chose, all frequented by locals, was superb. At the first bar, we tried several sake flights accompanied by snacks that were unfamiliar to us, and loved every item. At the second place, we tried a large assortment of sashimi and sushi, accompanied by more sake (informed by our tasting at the previous bar). Plus, we had the chance to order extra things we particularly wished to try (we added pufferfish sushi for instance). The menu was extensive, and Ryoko checked to make sure we were happy to try everything - and I'm so happy we did. Finally, we arrived at an all-you-can drink tiny karaoke bar, and enjoyed karaoke with the locals, who were friendly and welcoming, choosing English songs while we were present. There was no pressure to sing, but we did, and had the best time. (I thought we'd better leave rather than stay when our tour was over, so the locals didn't have to sing in English all night, but it would have been very easy to stay!) Ryoko curated a fantastic night for us. She's smart, considerate, excellent company, very accomplished, and speaks very good English. We feel very lucky to have booked her, and I recommend her as a guide to anyone visiting Osaka. Thanks so much, Ryoko, for a fun and memorable night!

“Amazing Osaka tour with Takashi!”

We had such a great time exploring Osaka with Takashi! He’s incredibly friendly, easygoing and very easy to talk to, which made the whole day really enjoyable from the start. He also knows a huge amount about Japanese history and culture, but what we appreciated most was the way he explained everything. Some topics, especially Japanese history and religion, can be quite complex, but Takashi made them clear, interesting and easy to understand. The tour was also very well planned. It was a fairly long day, but the pace felt just right — we saw a lot without ever feeling rushed or exhausted. Overall, it was a really fun and interesting experience, and we’re very happy we chose this tour. We would absolutely recommend Takashi to anyone visiting Osaka!
