Nicolas I.

Hello, my name is Nicolas. I’m originally from Argentina and have been living in Japan for the past eight years, proudly calling Osaka my home. Being married to a Japanese wife has given me a strong personal connection to the culture and a deeper understanding of everyday life here, far beyond what most visitors get to see. Tourism has always been my passion and profession, and I have spent these years working in the tour industry, helping travelers discover Japan in a meaningful and enjoyable way. I love sharing not only the famous landmarks, but also the small details, stories, and local experiences that make this country so special. My goal is to make every tour feel relaxed, authentic, and memorable—like exploring Japan with a knowledgeable friend who truly loves living here. I look forward to welcoming you and showing you this amazing place I now call home.

Hi I'm Rina. Thank you for your interest, and welcome to Japan. I was born and raised in Osaka, and I’m truly excited to show you both the city’s famous landmarks and its hidden gems. Osaka is full of incredible food and fun places to explore. I enjoy guiding guests into Osaka’s hidden, local neighborhoods where you can taste unusual dishes and discover spots only locals know. I look forward to guiding you through an Osaka you’ll want to return to. Soy principiante y no hablo mucho español, pero me encanta recibir a huéspedes hispanohablantes.

Muhammad W.

Professional English-Speaking Guide in Kansai | Osaka, Kyoto, Wakayama & Kobe Tours "I don't just show you sights; I translate the soul of Japan." Hey! I'm Muhammad W, a history lover and a guide to travel around Osaka to explore Japan. As Japan is enriched in culture so let's turn every single stone and reading the radicals. As an English Literature and Linguistics scholar living in Osaka, Japan, I offer more than just a tour—I offer a narrative. While many see a place as a quiet neighbor to Osaka, I see it as the birthplace of the Samurai blade, the cradle of the Tea Ceremony, and home to the world’s most mysterious ancient tombs. Why explore with me? Academic Insight: With a Master’s degree in linguistics, I bridge the cultural gap, explaining the "why" behind Japanese traditions. Halal Expert: As a local Muslim resident, I take the stress out of dining. I’ll show you the best Halal Wagyu, Ramen, and hidden gems in the Kansai region. Sakai Specialist: From the 1,600-year-old Nintoku-tenno-ryo Kofun to master blacksmith workshops, I’ll lead you through the "Real Japan" away from the crowds. Let’s turn your visit into a story worth telling.

Naoto O.

Hello! My name is Naoto, and I am from Mie Prefecture. I became a National Government Licensed Guide Interpreter in 2026. While I am still building my experience as a professional guide, I completed a tourism guide training program organized by the Mie Prefectural Government in 2025. Through this program, I gained solid knowledge of Japanese history and culture, as well as practical skills in guiding and tour planning. I spent my university years in Kyoto and also studied abroad in Canada and New Zealand. I have passed the EIKEN Grade 1 and scored 925 on the TOEIC. My academic background is in law and international relations, so I enjoy discussing global topics as well. I specialize in guiding visitors in the Iga region, the birthplace of ninja, and the quiet historical areas of eastern Nara Prefecture. These places are not crowded with international tourists, but they offer a deeper understanding of Japan. Of course, I can also guide you to Ise Grand Shrine, one of the most sacred places in Japan. Since public transportation is limited in these rural areas, we will travel comfortably by my car. If you are interested, I would also love to introduce you to local restaurants that serve fresh organic vegetables from this region.

Miki K.

Hi! I am Miki, your tour guide in Kyoto! I'll guide you through not only the famous tourist spots in Kyoto and the Kansai area, but also hidden gems you won't find in guidebooks. Within the tour hours, I can flexibly adjust the schedule, so please feel free to let me know your preferences! I'm looking forward to showing you around!

Shawn D.

My name is Shawn. I am American and I have been living in Japan for the last 15 years. What started as a chapter became a life, and Japan has shaped who I am in ways I am still discovering. I guide exclusively in English. After 15 years as a foreigner navigating this country, I understand what genuinely moves Western visitors, what surprises them, and most importantly, the difference between a quality experience and a tourist trap. I will always steer you toward the real thing. I am based in Kobe, a city that most tourists fly straight past on their way to Osaka and Kyoto. That is their loss and your opportunity. Kobe is a relaxed, walkable port city with a character unlike anywhere else in Japan. Yes, the Kobe beef is world class. But Kobe is also one of the most historically rich and visually beautiful cities in the country, without the overwhelming crowds you will find elsewhere. I know this city and this region deeply. From Kobe, Kyoto and Osaka are both reachable in well under an hour by train. That puts you at the center of the best region in Japan without the noise and chaos of staying in a major tourist hub. I cover the full Kansai region and beyond, from famous landmarks and cultural sites to the strictly local places most visitors never find. I am also available for early morning and late evening tours. Some of the most memorable experiences in Japan happen when the crowds are gone. Every tour is planned around you. Tell me what matters and I will build the day around it. Come find out what Japan means to you. Shawn

“Highlights of beautiful Osaka”

Our group of 4 met Horiko again at our hotel in Osaka. We had used Hiroko 2 days ago, on a private tour of Kyoto. Our first stop was the beautiful Osaka Castle, it was gorgeous with so many cherry blossom trees surrounding the castle. We took numerous photos there as there were many great photo opportunities. We then went to Shitennoji Temple, after spending time there we went to Shin Sekai, a retro downtown area of old Osaka. After we had lunch at a local restaurant. We proceeded to go Kuromon, the kitchen area of Osaka. After that we explored the Umeda Sky Building, a 40 story building with panoramic views of Osaka, We finished the tour by going through the Dotonbori area with street eateries and electronic billboards and canals. We had a wonderful time with Horiko who provided history and the significance of each landmark we saw. Thank you for showing us Osaka with you, it truly is a beautiful city!

“Wonderful Custom tour of Kyoto”

We had an excellent time with Hiroko as she customized our itinerary for Kyoto. There were 4 of us in our group and it was our first time in Kyoto. We went to Kiyomizudera Temple, Fushimi Inari Shrine, where we saw the red Tori gates. They were amazing! Hiroko even flexed our time as our wives wanted to spend some time shopping along the way. We also had time to have for a wonderful lunch on our way to our next destination. Our final stop was Arashiyama, we saw a beautiful nature area and beautiful garden along with the Tenryuji Temple. We were also next to the Bamboo Grove where we spent extra time with photo shoot opportunities. These were amazing places Hiroko took us to, and she went over the history and significance of each location. She conducted the tour in English which very important to us. We have also booked for another private tour with her in Osaka. I highly recommend utilizing her for your next tour if you want a guided tour.
