A tour that combines the best of three cities' castles and shrines
Osaka Castle in Osaka, Kinkakuji Temple in Kyoto, and Todaiji Temple in Nara. This tour takes you to the symbols of these three cities! Normally, it would be impossible to cover all of these in one day, but with a private car, it's possible! Those who are short on time, dislike traveling, or have mobility issues are all welcome. The highlight of the trip will be seeing deer. Let's go on a super compact trip!

Osaka Tour Reviews

“A Thoughtful and Memorable Day in Kyoto with Tatsuya”
We had a wonderful day touring Kyoto from Osaka with Tatsuya as our guide and driver. He was very accommodating and flexible throughout the day, especially when we made several last-minute adjustments to our itinerary to fit in everything we hoped to see. One member of our group has mobility challenges, and we truly appreciated the extra care Tatsuya took to help make the experience smooth and comfortable for her. He arranged wheelchair assistance at locations that involved more walking and also coordinated an incredible rickshaw ride through the bamboo forest, which became one of the highlights of our entire trip to Japan. Tatsuya was consistently kind, patient, and helpful throughout the day, and it was clear that he genuinely wanted us to have a memorable experience. His thoughtfulness and willingness to help made a real difference, and we are very grateful for the special memories created during our time in Kyoto.

Tatsuya M.
The pleasure was all mine! I'm so glad Barbara enjoyed her birthday celebration! I'm truly happy that she was impressed by the rickshaw ride through the bamboo forest! I hope your family continues to have meaningful experiences in Japan. I'd love to show you more of Osaka next time, so I look forward to seeing you again!

“Awesome Tour!”
Akira is an engaging, caring and passionate guide! I had arranged for this trip for my elderly parents and myself. From the initial discussion with Akira, he had recommended places which would not require that much walking to cater to my parents but yet we did not miss out on any must-go sites in Osaka! Akira is very knowledgeable and I must say, it is not my first trip to Osaka but after this tour, I understood so much more about Osaka's history! Akira also made sure to cater to our different needs and his food recommendation is on-point! And of course, making sure that we get the best photo spots! He speaks both Mandarin and English which makes communication super easy. I would strongly recommend booking a tour with Akira regardless of whether it is your first time in Osaka or not. You will definitely see Osaka in a different light!

Akira F.
Thank you so much for your kind words and wonderful review. I truly feel very fortunate to have been your family’s guide here in Osaka. Especially your parents — they were very talkative and enjoyable to spend time with. Osaka is truly a very charming city, and I’m happy that we were able to explore its history, culture, and food culture from many different perspectives. I hope you were also able to understand why Osaka is called “Japan’s Kitchen.” I really hope that I will have the chance to see all of you again in the future. You are always welcome to come back to Osaka. Thank you very much again.

“Day tip to Kyoto and Nara park”
We had an amazing experience with Vicky. From start to finish, everything was well organized, informative, and enjoyable. She was friendly, knowledgeable, and made us feel comfortable throughout the entire tour. We got to see places we never would have discovered on our own, and the personal touches made the experience even more special. Vicky passion for the area really showed, and she was happy to answer questions and tailor the day to our interests. I would highly recommend Vicky to anyone looking for a memorable and stress-free tour experience!
