About Tour Guide Kazu Y.
Please check "IMPORTANT".
Hi, I’m Kazuto! Please call me “Kazu”! I was born and raised in Osaka.
I’ve been working as a Japanese tutor and sometimes show my students around Osaka.
My students sometimes feel stressed in Japan due to the language barrier even though they study Japanese and I’ve decided to become a tour guide in Kansai to help tourists!
DO YOU WANT A STRESS-FREE TRIP?
I can be your private concierge for your trip.
Let me know if you need any help!
By the way, I like anime, manga, video games, I’m an Otaku :)
There are a lot of “otaku” places in Osaka like “Nintendo Osaka”, “Pokemon Center”, “Shonen-JUMP store”, “Universal Studio Japan” and so on.
I want to show impressive Japanese Pop Culture so much!!
Japan has limited-time anime, game or manga-collab cafes. You have to book for many of them and I can help you with the booking!
Also, I like eating out! I can offer bar-hopping tours, share good ramen restaurants, and so on!
I’m looking forward to seeing you! Let’s explore deep Osaka!
Reviews
“A Work in Progress: Kazu Shows Promise”
Our bar-hopping experience with Kazu in Osaka had its moments but ultimately didn’t quite meet our expectations. From the start, Kazu was communicative and professional, checking in before and after the tour, which we truly appreciated. However, the experience itself lacked the excitement and sense of discovery we were hoping for. We had specifically booked the tour to explore hidden gems we wouldn’t have found on our own, but ironically, the most fun we had was when we introduced Kazu to two bars we already knew. While he was friendly and made an effort, the overall flow of the night felt a bit constrained, especially with the understanding that he had to work early the next morning. This gave the evening a subtle undertone of needing to wrap up rather than fully immersing in the bar-hopping adventure. That being said, Kazu shows great potential. He’s kind, open, and welcoming—traits that will serve him well as he gains more experience. Having been guided by seasoned professionals in Tokyo, we can confidently say that with time and more familiarity with Osaka’s nightlife, he’ll be a fantastic host. We wish him the best and hope to see his tours evolve into something truly special!

Thank you very much for the other day. First of all, I sincerely apologize for not meeting your expectations. I am familiar with other bars as well, so if there is another opportunity, I would be happy to introduce you to them. Regarding the tour's ending time, this time, your reservation was until 10 PM. If you would like to extend the tour later next time, I would appreciate it if you could book accordingly. Once again, thank you so much for joining the tour!
“Lots of fun taking in pop culture!”
My son and I had a great time with Kazu in and around Osaka taking in the Anime and pop culture location! Would definitely recommend!
Kazu Y.
Thank you so much for your review! We had a busy tour because we walked a lot to go to pop culture places as many as possible but I hope you had a good time :) Enjoy the rest of your trip!
“A helpful and understanding guide”
Kazu is a very flexible, helpful, and understanding guide. We booked his night tour, and we messaged several times prior to the day as he sought to tailor the tour to our particular tastes. When the time came, though, I unfortunately had to cancel as after touring Japan for two weeks prior, I finally reached the point where my feet wouldn't carry me any further. When I couldn't make it, Kazu was very understanding and gave us suggestions for things near our hotel instead. Ever since I first contacted Kazu, his communication has been excellent, and he has shown a kind nature. I have no doubt the tour would have been fun, and wish we could have made it. I hope to return to Osaka and have the chance to book with him again - and this time, pace myself so I can make it! Thanks for being great about this, Kazu.
