Rina K.

Welcome to Osaka! My name is Rina, and I’m happy to guide you through my hometown. Osaka is a city I truly love—friendly, lively, and full of experiences worth sharing. Since July 2025, I’ve guided guests from many countries. I enjoy hearing about their lives and cultures, and I’m always glad to see their reactions to Japan. Everyday details here—food, traditions, or even train announcements—often feel new and exciting to visitors, and sharing those discoveries together is very rewarding. Osaka is known as the “city of kuidaore,” where food is central to life. Takoyaki, kushikatsu, cheesecake, and the famous 551 pork buns are just a few of the local favorites I’d like you to try. The city is also called the “city of water,” with neon lights reflecting beautifully on the Dotonbori River. From the new Grand Green complex, you can enjoy modern views of the Umeda Sky Building, a symbol of Osaka’s mix of tradition and innovation. Osaka is also the ideal base for exploring Kansai. In one day, you can visit Kyoto’s temples, Nara’s deer, Kobe’s harbor, or Shiga’s lakeside scenery. With more time, you can even reach Hiroshima’s Itsukushima Shrine or enjoy the food culture of Fukuoka. Join me for a relaxed journey through Osaka. Together, we’ll enjoy its flavors, sights, and stories at a comfortable pace. I look forward to welcoming you to Osaka!

Niko T.

KONNICHIWA!! I’m Niko! I’ve lived in Australia and worked at the Osaka Expo 2025. Through those experiences, I met people from all over the world — we hung out together, and I loved taking them to hidden local spots that tourists usually don’t find, like cozy cafés, local restaurants, and beautiful nature spots. I’m a very friendly person who loves learning new things. I enjoy not only sharing unique and lesser-known sides of Japan, but also hearing stories about your country and anything you’d like to talk about! I’m a big FOODIE! (Please go to my galleries!) Please let me make you try my favorite Japanese foods!! I also love taking a pictures and will always bring my camera with me, , so I can take beautiful photos of you during the tour — and you’ll get them on the spot as a little gift ! Providing warm hospitality to people is truly my joy. You won’t regret joining my tour — I promise! Can’t wait to meet you soon!

Syed atif Y.

A Local Friend in Kansai — Meet Atif Hey there! I’m Atif, a travel lover who’s been calling Osaka home for the past few years. What started as a curious adventure quickly turned into a deep love for this region — the food, the people, and all the little hidden corners that make Kansai so special. Now, I spend my days sharing those discoveries with travelers who want to see the real Japan — not just the postcard version. What I Offer Fun & Flexible Tours: No boring scripts here! I plan each tour around you — whether you love taking photos, tasting street food, exploring quiet temples, or getting lost in neon-lit backstreets. Local Secrets: After years of wandering Osaka, Kyoto, Nara, and Kobe, I’ve found the best hidden gems — from tiny noodle shops to peaceful gardens and back-alley shrines. Laughs & Memories: My tours aren’t just about facts — they’re about fun. Expect stories, local legends, and maybe even a karaoke challenge (if you’re brave enough)! Why Travel with Me Because travel should feel like exploring with a local friend, not following a flag in a crowd. I love good food, spontaneous detours, and showing people the Kansai that most tourists miss. Whether it’s your first visit or your fifth, I’ll make sure you experience something new — and unforgettable. Let’s Start the Adventure! Ready to explore Osaka, Kyoto, Nara, or Kobe? Let’s laugh, learn, eat, and wander together — Kansai style!

Visiting Nara from Osaka ～truly the must-see place in Japan～

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.

“Local delights”

Having been to most of the touristy places in Osaka I decided to hire a guide to show me the hidden gems of Osaka that only a local would be familiar with. This was my first time ever hiring a guide and it definitely didn't disappoint. Niko has such a bright and cheerful personality that it was easy to get along. Her command of English was amazing so for those of you who worry about language being a barrier, have no fear. She brought me to an authentic Japanese lunch place which was popular with the locals and the food was superb. We then proceeded to a museum as I wanted to lean more about Osaka's history and we had a fun time discussing about it. This was followed by a nice stroll around the Castle grounds and Niko so kindly accommodated my request for a coffee break by bringing me to a nice local cafe for some much needed caffeine. As the sun was about to set, Niko then brought me to a nice spot only a local would know to see the city view from up top. Seeing the city skyline with the streets lit up was definitely a sight to behold. The last time on the tour menu was dinner and Niko chose a nice Udon spot to end things of. All good things must come to an end and having wrapped up dinner it was time to part ways. I really enjoyed my tour with Niko and if you're ever looking for a guide who's friendly, accommodating and kind and will give you her all to ensure you enjoy your time in Osaka I can't recommend her enough. Niko has definitely made my trip a memorable one. Thank you Niko and hope to see you in my next trip if you'll have me again.
