Osaka Private Car Tours

“A great introduction to amazing Osaka”

Akira met us at the cruise ship port and took us to the beautifully restored Osaka Castle. That was followed with a visit to the Hokoku Shinto Shrine. We had a delicious traditional lunch of Osaka Okonomiyaki at a restaurant in the colouful Shinsekai district. Next we visited Shinennoji, the oldest Buddhist Temple in Japan, where Akira explained the differences in beliefs between Shinto and Buddhist religions, before we returned to the ship. Akira’s knowledge of Japanese history and religion, Ninjas and Samurais was amazing. We learned so much and had a perfect day.

“Day in Osaka! Learning made easy with Akira! ”

We had such a fun time with Akira during our 3 days (Kyoto, Nara & Osaka) and would most definitely recommend him. Akira explained the differences about shrines and temples and their rituals in a way that was easy to understand and made our visit feel much more meaningful. He also shared such a lot of interesting information about Japanese culture and everyday behaviour. He thoroughly explained the fascinating history of Osaka Castle without overcomplicating it for us. We really appreciated being driven around Kyoto and Osaka in the comfort of his car. He was very kind and thoughtful in adapting to our needs. Akira took such great care of us, even offering invaluable help with our ongoing travels around Japan. His food recommendations were fab as I’m a ‘picky eater’. One of the best tour guides we have ever experienced worldwide! He made us feel very special. Thank you so much Akira! We highly recommend you!

Thank you so much for your wonderful review. I truly enjoyed the three days we spent together, and I feel that our journey became a meaningful learning experience for all of us. Kyoto and Nara offered you so much history and inspiration, and the final day in Osaka was especially memorable. We shared joyful moments, visited Osaka’s oldest temple, tasted your first traditional okonomiyaki, and experienced the warmth, humor, and energy of the people of Osaka. I hope you will always remember Osaka—and also remember Akira—and that these memories will stay with you for a long time. I sincerely look forward to the chance to meet you again in Japan someday. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. Regards Akira! Arigatougozaimasu!

“Simply Osaka”

We had a great time with Akira and would definitely recommend him. He explains things in a simple, straightforward way that’s easy to understand. When we visited a shrine, he explained what kind it was, what everything was used for, and why people do certain rituals, which made the visit much more meaningful. He also shared a lot about Japanese culture and everyday behavior, and explained the history of Osaka Castle clearly without overcomplicating it. We learned a lot and had a great time. It’s really nice to know what you’re actually seeing instead of just thinking, “oh, that’s a funky building.” Highly recommended.

Thank you very much for your wonderful and generous review. I’m truly happy that you were able to spend such a pleasant day with me in Osaka and that you learned a lot during the experience. At the same time, I also learned a great deal from you. I believe that travel itself is a process of mutual learning and sharing. Wherever we go, learning helps make our journeys more meaningful, enjoyable, and never boring. I sincerely hope we will have the chance to meet again in the future. Until then, I wish you a very enjoyable and smooth journey. Thank you again.
