“The woman with a heart of gold. ”
Yuri is no ordinary tour guide. She is an extraordinary woman who went above and beyond to give me the very best Osaka experience. To be honest, I wasn’t sure at first if she would be the right fit for me — but within seconds of meeting her, that perception changed completely. Yuri deserves a platinum award from every angle. Her command of English is impeccable, her passion is unmatched, and her strength — both in spirit and presence — is truly commendable. Her knowledge isn’t limited to Osaka; she skillfully referenced situations and facts from other cities across Japan with clarity and depth. Thank you, Yuri. I sincerely wish tour guides around the world carried the same heart, excellence, and grace as you. May God bless you and keep you.

“Custom private guide”
Yuri was awesome! She reached out before our arrival to check our interests and tailored a tour just for us. We wanted to check out several Temples and Shrines and that is what we got. Yuri provided us with information about what we were seeing so we could understand the meaning. It was a great day Thanks so much!
