Osaka Private Tour Guides

“The Ultimate Insider’s Guide to Japanese Craftsmanship”

If you are looking for a deep dive into Japanese craftsmanship, look no further! Our guide in Osaka was phenomenal. Not only did she coordinate an amazing tour of local swordsmiths, but she also showed great flexibility when we happened upon a traditional bed maker. She turned a great itinerary into a once-in-a-lifetime cultural journey. We couldn't have asked for a better guide.

“All Day With Kochi in Kobe and Osaka ”

We had an absolutely fantastic time with Kochi. We had a 9 hours booked with him and it went by in the blink of an eye. He is knowledgeable, funny, energetic, and just an all-around great guy. We had such a wonderful time learning about the history and culture of Osaka and Kobe and even shared an incredible lunch at a local restaurant. I highly recommend Kochi and this tour. It was like seeing Japan with a dear friend.

“A wonderful day!”

We loved our day in Kyoto with Hiroko D. She was the perfect guide for us. We enjoyed the wealth of information she shared at each of our tour spots and along the way. We toured Eastern Kyoto, including Kiyomizudera, Yasaka Shrine, Kodaiji Temple, Gion, and Kenninji Temple. We had lunch in a well-established soba restaurant (I think she said it has been in business for 100 years). We enjoyed the delicious lunch and the restaurant's atmosphere. I can't say enough about how we enjoyed our time with Hiroko. It felt as though we had made a friend in Kyoto! We highly recommend her as a guide.

Heather, I feel truly honored by your kind and generous review. Both you and your husband are nice and friendly, and I really enjoyed your company as a guide in Kyoto. I was also impressed by "Sukiyaki" you sang along the way. That was just perfect! Please send my warmest regards to your husband for me. Hope his toe will be healed very soon. Sincerely, Hiroko
