Hi! I'm Nobu, a local tour guide based in Osaka, offering tours in both Osaka and Nara!

I was born in Japan but grew up in New Zealand, where I spent most of my life before eventually returning to Japan. Having experienced life in both countries, I understand how exciting, fascinating, and sometimes confusing Japan can be for international visitors!

My goal is simple: to help you explore Osaka and Nara your way and create unforgettable memories!

Whether it's your first visit to Japan or you've been here several times, I want you to feel comfortable exploring, asking questions, and discovering everything these wonderful places have to offer.

My tours are relaxed, friendly, and conversational. There's no need to rush from one attraction to another! Want to stop for photos? Try some delicious local food? Explore a hidden alleyway? Or simply slow down and soak up the atmosphere? I'm more than happy to adjust the pace to suit you.

And don't worry if you don't know much about Japan or speak Japanese! I'm always happy to answer questions, explain cultural differences, and help you feel more confident exploring.

At the end of the day, this is your adventure, not just another sightseeing tour. I hope you'll leave with great photos, wonderful memories, new discoveries, and a deeper appreciation of Japan.

Let's explore Osaka and Nara together!
