Osaka Private Tour Guides

“Most memorable Japan trip”

With Rina as my local guide I had the most fun, enjoyable, and memorable trip of all the Japan trips I’ve done! Rina has exceeded my expectations and gave me the best local experience of Osaka and Kyoto especially with my first Ohanami / Cherry Blossom trip in Kyoto. In addition, Rina was very flexible and accommodating every day when I was with her. The local foods and scenes/vibes were truly so good! I really highly recommend Rina to anyone as their local guide. Thank you so much, Rina-san! Hontoni Arigatou! Warm regards, -Mandy

“A beautiful day and tour with Nikki”

Our tour with Nikki of Osaka was top-notch from beginning to end. She met us at our hotel on time and was very personable and friendly. During the tour, which included a temple, a tea ceremony with a tea master, and Osaka Castle, as well as Dontonburi/Shensakai and the surrounding area, she was very knowledgeable. I was somewhat hesitant to do the tea ceremony, but it was quite good and memorable, a unique experience we won't forget. The visit to Osaka Castle was great too; she knows this very cool spot for photos where there aren't many people. She is a direct Shogun descendant, so inside the castle, she is extremely informative, and her personal family experience is a nice touch to the history you see there. She took pictures with HER phone all day of my wife and me and airdropped them to us at the end of the day. I wish all guides would do that. Oh, and the streetcar ride was cool as well. I cannot recommend Nikki enough! She was fantastic.

To me, each tour request represents a great deal of trust—you were entrusting me with a part of your valuable time in Japan, so when I met you, I tried to understand your interests and preferences through our conversations, and adjusted the experience to suit your needs as much as possible. I always do my very best to create a meaningful and memorable experience for my guests, so it brings me great joy to know that you were happy with your tour! I am especially delighted to hear that you enjoyed the streetcar ride, tea ceremony and all the Samurai stories at Osaka castle. I sincerely hope the rest of your time in Japan will be filled with many more wonderful and memorable moments!!

“Osaka was a fantastic experience!”

It was a great experience exploring Osaka with a competent guide. Rina is a skilled guide, flexible and patient with a person in a wheelchair. We highly recommend Rina for any group size.
