About Tour Guide Tokie T.

Hi, I'm Tokie.


I was born and grew up in Osaka, and I have lived in Osaka for 90% of my life. I like to show people around my city, not only famous sightseeing places but also local places where you can feel how real Osaka is.


I also travel a lot. I have traveled to Europe, South East Asia, North and Central America, and and so on. I always enjoy tours where I have a chance meet local people and enjoy an awesome experience. So I want to offer such tours here in Osaka !


My favorite

1. Local tours (Tenjin, Temma area is my specialized area)

2. Good food (sake as well. Local bar hopping tour is also available)

3. Cooking

4. Language and culture exchange (I can teach Japanese!)

5. Japanese calligraphy

6. Running (I have some marathon experiences.)

7. The beach (That's what I miss here in Osaka!)


Please contact me if you want to enjoy Osaka and Japan!

Reviews

A fantastic trip with Tokie

My children and I had a really good day leaving central Tokyo to see the some nature in the mountains with Tokie. Tokie took us to places that tourists would find hard to go on their own. It was a lovely day and Tokie is a nice person to spend time with. I recommend her suggestions for good tours. Thank you so much Tokie

Short stopover

With just 4 hours available ahead of transfer to the airport Tokie put together a great itinerary, allowing us to enjoy the delights of Osaka castle and a brief taste of downtown street food, skillfully negotiating queues and providing a great insight into Osaka life Tokie was simply a delight and had great language skills We wish her well over the coming months and would have no hesitation in recommending her to future travellers

Worth Every Penny!!

It was a wonderful tour, got to see the inside of Osaka Castle, got to eat great food at the Dotonbori District, all while having a really engaging conversation with the tour guide (she spoke perfect English to boot)!

Arashiyama is the hottest tourist destination. It is incredibly beautiful in spring and fall because of its cherry blossoms and autumn leaves. In the fall, the leaves turn brown or red! In the outstanding Tenryuji, you will see a beautiful garden with beautiful mountains in the background. There are many other beautiful places with touching stories in this area. On the way back to downtown, we can visit two world heritage sites, Kinkakuji and Ryoanji. What a wonderful route!
