“Our fantastic Tour with Uuki!”
We had an absolutely fantastic tour with Uki today! She was not only incredibly knowledgeable but also brought a great sense of humor that made the whole experience even more enjoyable. Uki gave us a unique and engaging insight into life in Osaka, especially from the perspective of the younger generation, which we found both fascinating and refreshing. Her warm personality and storytelling made us feel instantly comfortable and connected. Highly recommend taking a tour with Uki—you’ll learn a lot, laugh a lot, and walk away with a much deeper appreciation of Osaka. Thank you, Uki!

“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.

Dear Damian-san, thank you for choosing me to guide you around Osaka, I really appreciate your kindness. I enjoyed the tour and those bars, too. I hope you enjoy your long vacation in this beautiful country:) Best regards Uki
