(36 reviews)Hi Jorg, Osaka castle had maybe too many visitors that you did not feel like going up there. But seemingly you enjoyed visiting the 1860s museum. I'm glad that you enjoyed that place with Kimono on you. I felt like I was with one of close friends of mine. Very nice review. Thank you for that. I really appreciate it. Hope you will continuously have a fun time while you are in Japan. Take Care, Toshi M.

My day with Toshi was a lot of fun. We went to some interesting temples and shrine were he told me there history. We also went to parts of the city that are the same as years ago and had a really good lunch. If you want an interesting and easy to talk to guide go with Toshi. Randal
