Rina K.

Welcome to Osaka! Osaka is buzzing with excitement for Expo 2025 — and I’d love to show you how the city is transforming! It’s only available until October 13th, so don’t wait too long! Hi, I’m Rina, and I’m truly excited to guide you through the vibrant city of Osaka! As a native Japanese, I bring a unique perspective on Japan’s rich culture, traditions, and everyday life. Osaka is known for its delicious street food, lively atmosphere, and deep history, and I’m here to take you on an unforgettable journey through its famous landmarks and hidden gems. Whether you’re eager to explore the historic Osaka Castle, wander through the neon-lit streets of Dotonbori, or experience the warmth of local markets, I’ll help you dive into the authentic Osaka experience. Beyond sightseeing, I’ll introduce you to the Osaka way of thinking, from its humorous and welcoming spirit to the best-kept secrets that only locals know. Whether you’re planning a visit, looking for travel tips, or simply curious about the soul of this incredible city, let’s embark on this adventure together! I hope to make your time in Osaka truly unforgettable—your personal handbook to Osaka awaits! *************************************** A few things I love: - Visiting local bakeries and trying seasonal breads - Discovering cozy cafés with great coffee and atmosphere - Enjoying sake and craft drinks at hidden bars - Browsing unique lifestyle shops and handmade goods - Finding quiet spots in the city to slow down and recharge - Spotting charming signage, nostalgic storefronts, and tiny alleyway gems

I was born and raised in Osaka, so I’m a true local! I love traveling—both around Japan and overseas—and discovering new places, cultures, and of course… delicious food! In addition to being a guide, I also run my own office as a certified labor and social security attorney in Japan. Thanks to this professional background, you can feel assured that I’m a trustworthy and responsible guide who can flexibly arrange tours to fit your needs. Before starting my own practice, I also worked as a tour conductor for domestic bus tours, traveling all around Japan for a year. This experience gave me the chance to visit many regions and learn how to take care of guests in different travel settings. I can take you on food tours to hidden local bars and restaurants loved by Osakans, or guide you through Japan’s rich history with visits to shrines, temples, and castles. Whether you want to experience Osaka like a local foodie or dive into cultural traditions, I’ll create a tour that’s perfect for you. I’m also a photography enthusiast, so you’ll get some great photos taken by me as a souvenir from our tour! Let’s enjoy Osaka together—just like locals do!

“Great tour ”

We used the metro system which was cheap and efficient to get around Osaka. Kaori sorted tickets and took us to lots of places at great times so the queues weren’t so big. She encouraged us to try lots of different foods at the market and we felt we had a good experience of Osaka. Thank you Kaori k.

Osaka Off the Guidebook: A Hidden Gem Even Locals Recommend!

“Very authentic local experience in Osaka!”

The tour felt very friendly and I got to talk with a lot of local people in a hole-in-the-wall restaurant that had the best food I've had in Osaka. Leo speaks perfect English and helped translate while I talked and made friends with other people. He even helped explain the menu to me and change my order to non-seafood when I was too shy to ask! He knew the area really well and showed me around some popular stores and places, but the whole time he made me feel super at-home. It was the most authentic experience I had so far, way better than the crowded places downtown. For any English speakers who want to experience real Osaka instead of the popular tourist traps, I highly recommend this tour with Leo!

Leo A.

Thank you so much for such a thoughtful review!!! I’m really glad you enjoyed the restaurant and got to connect with the locals XD that’s exactly the kind of authentic Osaka experience I love to share with my guests!! I’m happy I could help with the translations and the menu, and it means a lot to hear that you felt comfortable and at home during the tour. Those little moments, like chatting with locals, trying out neighborhood spots, are what make a trip truly memorable, and I’m glad you got to experience that!!!!:):) I’m so happy that I could help you with all of things!! Thanks again for taking my tour!! I really appreciate your kind words, and I’d be delighted to welcome you back anytime for more hidden gems and local discoveries in Osaka!!! I hope you have a lot of fun during your Japan trip:)))
