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

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.

Shuji O.

Hi, I am Shuji, a licensed tour guide living near Kansai International Airport. I taught world history in high schools for four decades. So, I can explain Japanese culture or history in an easier way tailored to you who have different cultural and historical backgrounds. I also practiced Kendo, Japanese fencing, for more than four decades, and now I enjoy growing vegetables and going fishing. Therefore, I can also share some Japanese culture and its nature. I have traveled to more than 25 countries and all over Japan. I’m also passionate about photography and know many photogenic places in Japan. If you prefer to go off the beaten track, I can take you to hidden gems, including some cozy restaurants. Of course, I also know how to enjoy the crowded, most popular tourist sites. I am here to make your trip stress-free. See you soon!

Hallow ! This is Eric Tanaka. I was born in Kyoto, and I have been living in Kyoto. I am sure that Kyoto is one of the best city for sightseeing and living. I wish if I can introduce some nice places for you by walking around city streets. Also, in suburbs, there are a lot of nice sightseeing places such as Bamboo forest, Monkey park, Fushimi shrine, Zen practice temples and so on. Let's enjoy Kyoto town and Kyoto food.with me.

Ryoko T.

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!

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.

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.

Perfect Trip in Osaka

“Best First Osaka Tour”

Takashi was a wonderful guide. He was on time, very knowledgeable of the areas and site we visited, patient since we were not accustomed to long walking and taught us all we needed to know to get around the Osaka area by public transport. I highly recommend Takashi as your tour guide if you are staying/visiting Osaka.

Takashi M.

Thank you so much for your review :) I had a great day with you. I wish you the best for the rest of your trip in Japan!!

Thank you for a great night of touring Osaka’s famous spot for today’s pop culture!

Thank you very much! I adjusted the plan a little on the day, taking into account the weather and what your children wanted to do. I hope everyone had a great time.
