Osaka Private Tour Guides

“A GREAT GUIDE, knowledgeable, nice and wants to make sure you're enjoying your tour!”

We traveled around Osaka, Kyoto and went to parts of Nara and Kobe with Hiroki. Hiroki planned out a remarkable 4 day tour. First 2 days we spent in Osaka. Went to Osaka Castle, visited some shrines and temples, along with hitting major spots like Dotonburi and Shinsaibashi. Hiroki is very knowledgeable and provided many details and facts about everywhere we went. And when we asked questions about things he didn't know, he was quick to look it up and answer those questions as well. Our visit to Kyoto was fabulous. We asked to be in Kyoto at night as we wanted to see it both during the day and in the evening. This wasn't a problem and Hiroki adjusted our schedule so we could see Kyoto both ways. We went to Arashiyama, what a beautiful place! Visited the bamboo forest, monkey park and kimono forest (like downtown Arashiyama). The Kinkaku-ji Golden Temple and the Fushimi Inari Tori Gates are amazing sites not to be overlooked. We walked through some beautiful places in the evening. Gion and Kiyomizu are gorgeous at night. Gives you a different perspective or an older traditional look at Japan. There is so much Kyoto has to offer. Our visits to Nara and Kobe were short and specific. We wanted to see the deer park in Nara. The bowing deer are nostalgic for me. We used to have a Japanese Deer Park here in California a long time ago. Although I don't remember the deer nipping to get food, it was still a lot of fun to feed them. We also visited Todai-Ji where there is a huge bronze buddah. It is enormous! Our visit to Kobe was really to try real Kobe Beef. Hiroki found a place which had the history, kind of like a mini museum and teppan restaurant. Let me say one thing, It takes a lot of planning to make all these things happen in such a limited time. There is no way we could have planned, navigated and done half of these things without Hiroki's help. Our trip to Osaka was filled with wonderful memories and no stress! A big big THANK YOU Hiroki! Forever Grateful!

“Buen profesional empático y amable”

Tuvimos solo cuatro horas en Osaka después de un día muy intenso en Kioto. Llegamos bastante cansados pero en apenas cuatro horas Takishi nos ofreció una interesantísima visita general que nos dejó a todos con muchas ganas de volver a conocer con mayor profundidad esta ciudad. Muchas gracias Takishi

“Koichi is our best and favorite guide!”

Book with Koichi! He is so fun, nice, kind, knowledgeable and so cool! He personalized the trip to our needs. He tried so hard to accommodate us from the food, to helping us get bug bites cream. We had to switch from Osaka trip to Kyoto trip so he changed when we would go to Osaka. He went out of his to make us try some genuine Kyoto desserts!!!!!He gave us a ton of information about history of Kyoto and osaka but it wasnt overwhelming especially with an ADHD kid! He knows his history of Kyoto so well! He helped us get to the station so we knew where to go! Of course we got lost once we got to Tokyo, lol.

This was the last day of our six days together. Although there were some changes in the itinerary due to bad weather and other reasons, I was able to complete the tour with everyone's cooperation. I would like to take this opportunity to thank you again. Yesterday, a day has passed since I saw everyone off at Kyoto Station and said goodbye to you all, and now I remember the days of the past week with fondness. I am looking forward to seeing you again in the near future! Koichi
