Meeting Point
Nakazakicho
- Rendez-vous à la station de métro Nakazakicho (ligne Tanimachi) pour explorer un paisible labyrinthe de ruelles étroites bordées de boutiques vintage, de cafés indépendants et de maisons rétro. Ce quartier artistique ressemble à un instantané nostalgique du Japon d’après-guerre, avec une touche créative et moderne. - Une pause pour déguster une douceur japonaise et un café est fortement recommandée.
Shinsaibashi
Shinsaibashi est un lieu incontournable pour les amateurs de vintage, en particulier autour d’Amerikamura, le Harajuku d’Osaka aux accents rétro américains. Avec ses œuvres de street art, ses disquaires et ses salles d’arcade cachées, le quartier est un véritable terrain de chasse au trésor, vibrant d’énergie jeune et créative.
Shinsekai
Shinsekai est un quartier insolite, véritable capsule temporelle dominée par l’iconique tour Tsutenkaku et ses enseignes rétro lumineuses. Entre restaurants traditionnels et salles d’arcade vintage, c’est une plongée surréaliste dans les rêves de l’ère Showa d’Osaka.
Ending Point
Shinsekai

About Tour Guide Katia S.
Hello, bonjour, привет ! I’m a multilingual guide based, offering cultural and historical tours across Osaka, Kyoto and Nara — with a special focus on Shinto shrines, Buddhist temple and Japan history.
Kansai is a beautiful area which provide everything you want to see in Japan! Electric, gourmet and vintage with Osaka, traditional and rich of Japanese crafts and temples with Kyoto, and turn to country side and beautiful nature and history in Nara.
One of my favorite spots to guide is Sumiyoshi Taisha, one of Japan’s oldest and most iconic Shinto shrines. Through these tours, I share stories, traditions, and perspectives that bring Japanese history and mythology to life.
My journey to Japan — all the way from Europe via the Transiberian Railway — reflects my deep love for cultural exchange and meaningful travel.
If you’re looking for a laid-back, authentic way to experience Japan with a passionate local — I’m your guide.
Book a tour and let’s make it an unforgettable day!

“A perfect introduction to Osaka. ”
Katia was ideal from the outset. During the weeks prior to booking, she was responsive, informative and pleasant to deal with. She met us early at our hotel and was flexible throughout the day due to our requests. Before commencing the tour for the day, our children were anxious about the day ahead, but at the conclusion, they were in tears parting company with Katia. It set a good mood for the start of our 2 weeks in Japan. Katia was knowledgeable and tailored the day to fit everyone’s tastes. We hope you will be in Osaka next year Katia and will definitely be requesting your week to be set aside for us. Highly recommended.

“Passionate and Fine Company”
A last minute change to my schedule allowed me to visit Osaka on short notice. Katia is responsive, her communications is clear and informative. The half day tour to the older parts of the greater Osaka area is precisely my interest. Her passion for the subject matter is obvious, and her relaxed style makes the tour. "Ichigo Ichie" Thanks Katia.
