Rina K.

Hi, I’m Rina! Thank you for your interest, and welcome to Japan. I was born and raised in Osaka, and I still live here with my husband and our son. I love English and traveling, and I started tour guiding in July 2025. I regularly play tennis, and I enjoy listening to Fuji Kaze — he’s my favorite artist. Of course, I also love eating and drinking; enjoying good food and drinks is a big part of my life. Osaka is full of amazing food and fun places to explore. I’m always thinking about how to create routes that feel comfortable for each guest and what kind of scenery will make them fall in love with this city. I love seeing guests react with surprise and joy to the little things in everyday Osaka — those moments are truly rewarding for me. My hope is simple: I want you to enjoy Osaka with ease, and I want you to leave feeling even more connected to this place. I’m confident in my stamina — I’ve guided an eight‑hour tour without lunch — but I also offer slow‑paced, relaxing tours. Together, we’ll create a plan that matches your interests and energy level, so you can enjoy the day without stress. You can count on me for the best timing to avoid crowds, truly delicious local spots, and places only Osaka residents know. My goal is to give you a warm, memorable experience that makes you think, “I want to come back to Osaka again.” I look forward to guiding you through an Osaka you’ll want to return to.

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!

Akira F.

Hello, my name is Akira , and I am a private guide based in Kyoto. I specialize in creating customized tours that are tailored to your interests and travel style. Kyoto is a city rich in history, culture, and hidden beauty, and I would love to share its charm with you. Whether you are interested in famous landmarks like Kiyomizu-dera and Fushimi Inari, exploring peaceful temples and gardens, or discovering local food and traditions, I will design a unique itinerary just for you. My goal is to make your time in Kyoto not only enjoyable, but also meaningful and memorable. I look forward to guiding you and helping you experience Kyoto like a local.

Tatsuhiro N.

It took me some 20 years to be qualified for this job and I feel honored for being able to help tourists from abroad understand our nation and culture. Japan is a beautiful country with a long history, tradition and rich cultural heritages, having various features in each of the four distinct seasons. Although there are now many visitors from abroad, mainly from Asian countries, they are mostly interested in shopping taking advantage of cheaper yen rather than understanding our people and culture. Kyoto and Nara are the two cities best known by foreign tourists, but not all the aspects of Japanese culture are concentrated there. If you visit the countryside other than these two cities, you will never fail to see the beautiful natural surroundings and people who will warmly welcome you. I wish to work as the bridge between Japanese people and tourists from all over the world.

Sawyer S.

After studying western religion, I flew to Japan to study Buddhism & Shinto. I trained as a monk in the Japanese alps of Fukui prefecture, and learned traditional crafts including washi paper-making, knife making, and tea ceremony. I've visited all 47 prefectures of Japan in my decade in Japan. Now I live in Kyoto, which has some of the grandest temples and shrines in all of Japan. My goal is to find joy through connection and share what I've learned. As I'm new to GoWithGuide and seeking reviews, I'm currently offering discounted rates!

Kiyomi A.

Yokoso! Life is a journey! all about learning something new ! Lived in 7 different countries in my life, I’ve working in service industry for quite sometime. Now based in Japan and working as an English Teacher/tour guide. Those two are surprisingly quite similar- both has high demand to be an entertainer and educatorin same time in order to get guests attention :) I do thru-tour ( golden route : Tokyo- Hakone- Nagoya- Kyoto/Nara- Hiroshima) As well as regional ( Kyoto/Nara, Osaka and Kobe ) As per guest’s requirement. My favorite place to visit with my guests is Kasuga Taisha, Nara, along with Deer park. Recently reading Japanese Mythology to understanding Shintoism better. I used to live in India and love to find connection between their country and ours in Buddhism temple :) My hobby is ballet ( watching , doing ), Movies, Traveling( visit places and stay there locals ) World is one ;)

Julie M.

Hello! I’m Julie, a Brazilian who's married to a Japanese guy and became a guide in Japan. My goal is simple: to make your trip unforgettable, stress-free, and full of meaningful experiences. Living in Japan for years has allowed me to truly understand the culture, daily life, language, and hidden gems that most travelers never get to see. I always guide with patience, care, and attention to detail—so you can relax and enjoy every moment. What you can expect from me: Personalized itineraries based on your interests Smooth communication in English, Portuguese, or Japanese Help with transportation, restaurants, shopping, and cultural etiquette A friendly companion who makes you feel safe, comfortable, and welcomed Local tips and authentic experiences—not just the touristy spots Whether you’re traveling solo, with children, or in a group, I adapt the pace and activities to what you enjoy. My priority is that you feel supported, understood, and excited throughout your trip. If you’re looking for a guide who is organized, caring, knowledgeable, and passionate about Japan, I would love to be part of your journey. Let’s create beautiful memories together!

Aya M.

Hi, I’m Aya! A local guide from Osaka, born and raised in a traditional Japanese farmhouse. My family has been growing Mitsuba（japanese traditional vegetable）and seasonal vegetables for generations, and I love sharing the authentic countryside lifestyle with guests from around the world. After studying and working in Australia, I realized how deeply travelers value real connection with local people. That inspired me to create experiences where visitors can feel everyday Japan — not just observe it. In my tours, I introduce guests to the heart of Japanese culture: • Hands-on farm experiences at my family’s fields • Calligraphy in our traditional Japanese home • Tea time on the engawa, surrounded by nature One of the things I cherish most is omotenashi —Japan’s unique spirit of hospitality that values sincerity, care, and putting others before oneself. Through my experiences, I hope to share this quiet richness of Japanese life: the warmth, the thoughtfulness, and the deep sense of connection that locals naturally offer. My style is warm, welcoming, and relaxed. I guide at your pace, answer any questions, and make sure you feel comfortable — like visiting a friend’s home in the countryside. If you’re looking for genuine culture, meaningful moments, and a true local connection, I’d be honored to welcome you. Feel free to message me anytime.

Tour of Osaka-jo Castle

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’s Top Must-See Spots in One Perfect Tour

“Great (but short) Visit to Osaka”

My wife and I had a 12 hour layover in Osaka and she had never been to Japan, so we wanted a tour guide to show us some highlights. Nikki was wonderful. She met us at the airport, took us to the castle. There was a snag on the railroad, and having a native to help us navigate that was a big asset. She showed us around town and arranged a traditional tea ceremony. It gave us a great feeling for the area and whetted our appetite for a longer and more thorough visit to the Osaka/Kobe area and Japan in general. I highly recommend Nikki, and would hire her again when we return.

“See and learn more about Japan”

Shuji San provide all over information on Osaka, Wakayama, Nara ++ We want to see the 2nd tier city like Wakayama this trip as we want to see and understand more on Wakayama. We have a good brief from Shuji San. Shuji San provides over all attractions information which attracts us to return.

Thank you very much for your kind words! It was a pleasure meeting such intelligent people. I'm so excited to share my thoughts, and I was so surprised by your profound understanding of Japanese culture. I look forward to seeing you again!

“Simply Osaka”

We had a great time with Akira and would definitely recommend him. He explains things in a simple, straightforward way that’s easy to understand. When we visited a shrine, he explained what kind it was, what everything was used for, and why people do certain rituals, which made the visit much more meaningful. He also shared a lot about Japanese culture and everyday behavior, and explained the history of Osaka Castle clearly without overcomplicating it. We learned a lot and had a great time. It’s really nice to know what you’re actually seeing instead of just thinking, “oh, that’s a funky building.” Highly recommended.

Akira F.

Thank you very much for your wonderful and generous review. I’m truly happy that you were able to spend such a pleasant day with me in Osaka and that you learned a lot during the experience. At the same time, I also learned a great deal from you. I believe that travel itself is a process of mutual learning and sharing. Wherever we go, learning helps make our journeys more meaningful, enjoyable, and never boring. I sincerely hope we will have the chance to meet again in the future. Until then, I wish you a very enjoyable and smooth journey. Thank you again.
