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’m truly excited to show you both the city’s famous landmarks and its hidden gems.
Osaka is full of incredible food and fun places to explore.
I’m always thinking about how to design routes that feel comfortable for each guest and what kind of scenery will make them fall in love with this city.
Seeing guests react with surprise and joy to the little moments in everyday Osaka is one of the most rewarding parts of guiding.
My hope is simple: I want you to enjoy Osaka with ease and 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.
