“Osaka with Uuki ”
We had a tour in Shinsekai in the evening and the osaka day tour on the following day with Uuki. We had street food ( skewers ) in Shinsekai and enjoyed the beautiful neon lights. Then went to Dotonbori area to enjoy night time happenings. We all enjoyed the tour the next day and japanese lunch wearing kimonos. She is flexible, helped us with taxis for those who has walking issues. we all enjoyed her beautiful smile and attention to details. Hope to see you when you visit USA.

“An amazing day!”
I couldn't ask for more from Uuki. She went above and beyond during the tour. Whenever I asked about stores or food, she was attentive and would adjust the route to show me her recommendations. She is also incredibly patient and answered any odd questions I had throughout the day. Uuki is a local with impressive knowledge of the area but most importantly, she's a genuinely lovely person. I would happily recommend her as a guide to anyone.

“Excellent, personalised tour guide”
Uuki was a fantastic tour guide for my time in Osaka. She listened to places that I wanted to visit and made suggestions along the way of other things that suited my interests. It was very easy to create a personalised tour and I didn’t feel any pressure or rush. She was accomodating every time I wanted to stop and look in a shop, and also helped provide translation for items that weren’t in English. Her English is great, we didn’t have any language barriers as an Aussie with no Japanese whatsoever. She answered all the questions I had about cultural differences between our countries as well as having knowledge of the things we were sightseeing. She was great to take photos of me during our time together as I was travelling solo. I couldn’t recommend her enough Thank you so much, Uuki!

Dear Miss Sheridan, Thank you very much for choosing me as your tour guide in Osaka. I also really appreciate your kindness. The otter cafe was so much fun—you’ve started my journey of exploring animal cafes! I hope you have a great time in Tokyo too. Best regards, Uki

Let's Enjoy A Japanese Baseball Game!!
Hanshin Koshien Stadium is the mecca of both high school baseball and professional baseball. The stadium was built in 1924 and named the Koshien stadium. It's the oldest baseball stadium in Japan and the third oldest baseball stadium in the world. It is said that the stadium was modeled after the Polo Grounds, the home of the New York Giants. When Babe Ruth visited Japan for the Japan-U.S. All-Star Series, hot dogs were sold for the first time in Japan.
