Visiting Nara from Osaka ~truly the must-see place in Japan~
Nara: the must-see place in Japan. Nara was the capital of ancient Japan before Kyoto became the capital. In the Nara era, Buddhism played an important role in stabilizing the country. So you can see many big old temples there. Many of these are listed as UNESCO World Heritage sites and are concentrated in a small area. So, if you have only one free day to spend in the Kansai area, I highly recommend visiting Nara.

Tour of Osaka-jo Castle
(Highlights) The present castle building looks beautiful, powerful and in perfect harmony with the surrounding environment. However, it was the venue of hegemony, bloody conflicts and natural disasters for many centuries. Once you visit the castle, you will be amazed at the magnificent structures, huge moats and the beautiful natural environment. The view from the top of the eight-storied donjon is splendid. You can reach there either by going up the steep stairways or taking an elevator ride. The castle is in the heart and the landmark of Osaka city, where many modern buildings stand. (How to enjoy) You can enjoy a leisurely walk along the one-kilometer road leading to the castle after you get off the train and, once inside the precincts, you cannot spare even a moment without marveling at the sight of an ancient technology and human wisdom, as well as the huge rocks building up the protection walls. Not only seeing the buildings, you can also sit on the grass and enjoy having lunch with your family members or friends. (Others) The entrance fee is 600 yen per person and the JR Osaka Loop Line train fare is 300 yen for the ride from Osaka to Osaka-jo-koen station. The fare for the ride between Kyoto and Osaka, meanwhile, is 510 yen.

Osaka, Spiritual Tour in Temple Town on Hill
Osaka dates back to the 6th century, when a national temple was constructed on a hill jutting out into the sea. In the Middle Ages, court nobles believed the “Pure Land of Buddha” was beyond the setting sun. They would watch the sunset from temples with great views while on pilgrimage from Kyoto to Kumano. In the early 20th century, locals constructed a so-called “Paradise on Earth” beneath the hill, which was called “New World” centered on the symbol tower, “Lead to Heaven Tower”

Osaka, Footsteps of Pop Culture Creators
At the beginning of the 20th century, an entrepreneur built a new 25-kilometer railway line stretching north from Osaka. He built a big theater for the Girls' Review at the northern end, housing estates in the middle, and a department store at the southern end, all to transport commuters and visitors. This groundbreaking idea has inspired youth, and a Manga Museum, a Cup Noodles Museum, and a Nintendo Store have opened one after another along the line, entertaining the children who visit.

Osaka Gourmet City, feasts for Eyes & Mouth
In the 16th century, a military commander who unified Japan built Osaka Castle and attracted merchants from neighboring cities to a castle town. He also developed an extensive canal network, connecting it to other parts of Japan via the Seto Inland Sea. Feudal lords built the warehouses stored rice transported by ship. Merchants opened markets to buy and sell specialties. The interaction between shopkeepers and customers fostered Osaka's rich food culture and friendly spirit.

Osaka Tour Reviews
Eric L.
“The Experience with Satoshi San is recommended to Everyone 本次的出游体验值得推荐给所有人”
Rather than rushing through tourist attractions, I personally believe that the most important thing about traveling is to connecting with the local people and culture, so we booked this experience. Before the trip, I had higher expectations for the professionalism, meticulousness, and reliability of the Japanese people, but Mr. Kitazawa's performance exceeded my expectations. Mr. Kitazawa majored in Chinese at university and is a licensed tour guide officially registered in Japan. His overall language competency, itinerary planning, understanding of social realities, introduction of attractions, and arrangement of meals are all impeccable. The competency to maintain interest in a 9-year-old is truly astonishing, leaving even the parents feeling inadequate. Unlike the previous day at Universal Studios (where they even bought a U-Pass), the child, under Grandpa Kitazawa's guidance, didn't utter a single complaint for the entire 8 hours. When choosing a lunch restaurant in Shinsekai, Mr. Kitazawa was very concerned about the 300 JPY pre-meal snack fee charged by the restaurant and tried to lead us to a restaurant that did not charge this fee. This small detail shows his professionalism and character. I look forward to my next two-day trip to Kyoto with Mr. Kitazawa and will recommend him to all tourists visiting Japan. 相较于走马观花的刷景点,个人认为出游更重要的是与当地的人与文化产生联系,所以我们预约了本次的体验。 出行之前对于日本人民的职业、细致、靠谱有着较高的预期,但是北泽先生的表现还是超过了我的预期。 北泽先生大学本科的专业是汉语而且是日本官方注册的持证导游。 无论是整体的语言能力、对于行程的计划、对于社会事实的洞悉、景点介绍、餐食的安排都堪称完美。 对于9岁小朋友的兴趣调动维持能力,更是让人惊叹,使得亲爸亲妈自愧不如, 与前一日在环球影城不同(even 买了优速通),小朋友在北泽爷爷的带领下,全天8小时都没有唧唧歪歪。 在新世界选择午餐餐馆时,北泽先生对于商家收取的300JPY餐前小吃费非常介怀并尝试带领我们找到不收取此费用的商家,见微知著, 可见其职业素养与人品。 期待着下次与北泽先生的京都的2日行程,并将北泽桑推荐给所有的赴日游客.

Shuji O.
Thank you for your review. You were very good at traveling, especially for your age. We enjoyed the statues and shrines. I hope you enjoyed the nice restaurant we went to for lunch. Thank you for choosing my tour for the last part of your trip to Japan. I hope this trip makes great memories for both of you!

“Wonderful day exploring Osaka!”
Atsuko was lovely to deal with from the start and I had to change the itinerary quite last minute and she was super accomodating and understanding. We had a tailored itinerary and she was very flexible in how much time we spent in each location. She managed to book a special restaurant for our lunch which we thoroughly enjoyed. We covered all the areas in our itinerary and she gave helpful tips for other things to do in Osaka including which cruises were available. Thank you Atsuko and looking forward to catching up soon!

Hello Ms. Jenny, Thank you for your kind review and comment for me. I am happy to hear you enjoyed the tour with me. I also had a wonderful time with all of you. It was fun to share our daughters' topic with you. I think Abbey had the memorable birthday party with you on January 25th. Thank you for joining my tour. Best regards, Atsuko
