About Tour Guide Aki O.
Hello! I’m a local guide based in the Kansai area, offering private and customized tours in Osaka, Kobe, and Kyoto.
I enjoy helping visitors discover not only famous sights, but also the food, shops, neighborhoods, traditions, and everyday experiences that make Japan special. My tours are relaxed and flexible, with plenty of time for questions, conversation, photos, and spontaneous discoveries.
I also work as a Japanese language teacher, which has given me extensive experience communicating with people from different countries and explaining Japanese culture in a clear and approachable way.
Whether you are visiting Japan for the first time, traveling alone, or looking for places beyond the usual tourist routes, I can tailor the experience to your interests and pace. My goal is to help you feel comfortable, discover things you may not find on your own, and leave with meaningful memories of your time in Japan.
I look forward to exploring Osaka, Kobe, or Kyoto with you!
