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!

“Fun time in ”
From the beginning of our interaction Kazu was very attentive to detail making sure we got the most of time together. We had a great time chatting with him throughout our tour. He found the best places to get some sailor moon and ghibli merchandise. We also asked to visit less touristy places in Osaka to eat or drink and try unique foods that we would never order on our own. First time trying seared raw chicken and it was delicious! Having Kazu with us, helped interact with the restaurant chefs in a more casual way which even got us some extra unique dishes. Thanks for taking us around, we had a great time!
Kazu Y.
Thank you so much for joining the tour! Since it was a short tour, we didn’t have quite enough time, but I’m glad I was still able to show you a variety of places. Japan has many more unique foods, so I hope you’ll try some others next time you visit!

“Great time ”
We had the pleasure of having Kazu show us around for 2 days. I think we might have scared him a little with some bold questions and loud voices but we had a great time and appreciate all his kindness. We would gladly do it again.
Kazu Y.
Thank you so much for joining my tour! Your questions weren’t scary at all. We enjoyed lots of different foods over the two days! I hope you can come again and enjoy even more next time!

Osaka Off the Guidebook: A Hidden Gem Even Locals Recommend!
Just have fun eating Okonomiyaki and sipping sake with Osaka local people! I’ll be your translator so you can ask anything when we socialize with Japanese guests at the same restaurant. If you don’t prefer Okonomiyaki, no problem—I can recommend Takoyaki, Ramen, or Kushikatsu, and even arrange a visit to an Izakaya-style restaurant. After dinner, we’ll stroll through a lively local shopping street, where you can explore hidden gems, discover unique shops, and soak up the everyday life of Osaka.
