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, Footsteps of Pop Culture Creators
At the beginning of the 20th century, an entrepreneur built a new 25-kilometer railway line stretching north from Osaka. He built a big theater for the Girls' Review at the northern end, housing estates in the middle, and a department store at the southern end, all to transport commuters and visitors. This groundbreaking idea has inspired youth, and a Manga Museum, a Cup Noodles Museum, and a Nintendo Store have opened one after another along the line, entertaining the children who visit.

Tour of Osaka Tenjin-matsuri Festival / Cruising on the river
(Highlights) Held in the evening of July 25 each year, this festival attracts more than a million spectators. Dozens of rafts full of invited, kimono-clad people towed by small boats go upstream the major river in the heart of Osaka, while on-lookers watch from the river bank, nearby bridges and the pier. There stand stalls selling varieties of food, filling in every nook and corner of the river bank. Thousands of fireworks are shot up into the night sky to the great enjoyment of visitors. (Origin of the festival) The myth says that in the year 951, two years after God descended from heaven and settled in the Tenmangu Shrine, they flowed a sacred float in the river from the nearby beach and a funeral hall was built and "misogi" purification ceremony held at the shore where the float reached. Then, those living near the shrine and worshipers built a ship to contributed to the shrine. (How to enjoy) You can see rafts full of "yukata"-clad people in the festive mood on board slowly going upstream the river, while being soaked in the cool evening atmosphere. After dark, fireworks setting the skies ablaze make you sigh in joyful excitement. You can have whatever food you like at the stalls built in the riverbank. (Transportation) The JR train fare from Kyoto station to Osaka station is 560 yen and the subway fare, 180 yen. (Others) Since the venue is very crowded, please do your utmost in protecting yourself from being bumped by others and from theft. If you are there on the days other than the festival day, you can enjoy cruising on board a sightseeing ship called "Osaka water-bus" for a fee of 1,700 yen for one-hour ride. You can see the landscape of Osaka city from different angles as the ship sails along the river. Daytime only, however.

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.

“Kind, friendly and patient”
Atsushi worked with us to make a custom plan for our 9 person group of 4 adults and 5 teens. He was easy to communicate with, and very responsive. He understood what we were looking for and made a plan that mixed history and local culture, making lots of helpful suggestions. As we walked, he answered all of our questions, and went out of his way to engage all of the kids in the group. He comes across as an honest and genuine guy. The kids wanted me to add that Atsushi is the g.o.a.t :) If you're traveling in the Osaka or Kyoto area, I'd strongly recommend connecting with Atsushi as your guide!

“Delightful Tour With Rina”
Rina guided me through Osaka on my first day in Japan, and I couldn’t have asked for a better introduction. She’s an Osaka native who genuinely loves her city, and that came through in everything she shared. Her knowledge was personal, not just encyclopedic — she spoke candidly, took me off the beaten path, and offered recommendations I never would have found on my own. We spent real time at Osaka Castle, which she brought to life with historical depth. I left feeling like I’d actually absorbed something. She was warm, generous with her time, and good company throughout the day. I learned far more than I would have alone, and I had fun doing it. I recommend Rina without reservation.
Rina K.
I'm so grateful for your message. Arigato, Gillian! Thank you for joining the tour on your first day in Japan. I know you were still feeling the jet lag, but you reacted so warmly and enjoyed every place we went. It meant a lot to me. I'm really glad you enjoyed Osaka, and I had a wonderful time talking with you. Enjoy the rest of your time in Japan at your own pace, and I hope you have lots of wonderful moments. Hope our paths cross again. P.S. You inspired me to start doing a little yoga and meditation daily. Matane :-) Rina
