I'm very happy to receive your excellent review. You were also very friendly and I could enjoy guiding Osaka with you. Kuromon Market is one of the three major markets in Japan along with Tsukiji in Tokyo, Nishiki in Kyoto. The fish caught in Osaka Bay are mainly sold. They are fresh fish such as puffer fish, shrimp, scallop, crab and the like. In Doguyasuji we see various kinds of plates, Takoyakiki, food sample and the like. Osaka has a lot of interesting spots. I wish you all the best for your good health. I hope you enjoy Japan trip! Thank you.

Feedback on Hideo San

Hideo san was an excellent and experienced guide. Our trip to Kobe from our Osaka AirBnB was very smooth. He provided good information throughout. When we arrived back in Osaka, he had gone out of his way to escort us to a bakery shop in the Namba area where we had enquired about the popular Riku baked cheesecake. Thank you Hideo san for making our visit to Mt Rokko and Kobe an exciting and wonderful experience!

Hideo Y.

I'm very happy to receive your excellent review. We were lucky to take Rokko Ropeway just one day before it stopped operating because of checking. I'm sure you enjoyed foot bath in Arima onsen. On the way back to Osaka. we dropped in at China Town in Kobe to see Lunar Year Festival. We had steamed pork buns originated in Kobe. I wish you and all your family good health and happiness. Thank you.
