About Tour Guide Rina K.
Hi, I’m Rina!
Thank you for your interest, and welcome to Japan.
I was born and raised in Osaka, and I still live here with my husband and our son.
I love English and traveling, and I started tour guiding in July 2025. I regularly play tennis, and I enjoy listening to Fuji Kaze — he’s my favorite artist. Of course, I also love eating and drinking; enjoying good food and drinks is a big part of my life.
Osaka is full of amazing food and fun places to explore.
I’m always thinking about how to create routes that feel comfortable for each guest and what kind of scenery will make them fall in love with this city.
I love seeing guests react with surprise and joy to the little things in everyday Osaka — those moments are truly rewarding for me.
My hope is simple: I want you to enjoy Osaka with ease, and I want you to leave feeling even more connected to this place.
I’m confident in my stamina — I’ve guided an eight‑hour tour without lunch — but I also offer slow‑paced, relaxing tours.
Together, we’ll create a plan that matches your interests and energy level, so you can enjoy the day without stress.
You can count on me for the best timing to avoid crowds, truly delicious local spots, and places only Osaka residents know.
My goal is to give you a warm, memorable experience that makes you think, “I want to come back to Osaka again.”
I look forward to guiding you through an Osaka you’ll want to return to.
