About Tour Guide Tatsuya M.

Nice to meet you! My name is Tatsuya. I was born and raised in Osaka. I love traveling the world and communicating with all kinds of people. I also have a caring personality, so I would love to share the charms of Osaka, its people, and its food with people all over the world!

I provide sightseeing tours not only in Osaka but also in Kyoto and Nara. I offer transportation services for hotels, cruise ships, and airports as well!

Reviews

“Great personality for guiding.”

Tatsuya ensured that we were comfortable in the restaurant he had chosen to showcase true Japanese cuisine. Any questions [and there were many] we asked of him, if language was an issue, he ably used a translation app to speedily give us answer. The weather wasn't the best for viewing ... but we saw the sights we asked for. Thank you Tatsuya for showing us Nara [the temple/deer] and Osaka Castle. Sue [Kiwi]

“A enjoyable option to pack a lot in ”

Tatsuya was very kind informative host. Good communication, prompt arrival. The time saved on public transport is worth it to tick off multiple attractions. His car is spacious and in the 34 degree days ice cold air con. He made us feel welcomed and comfortable and we enjoyed our full day with his services, I would recommend it to people who are short on time, or travelling to further out destinations.
