Osaka may be known for having the best food in Japan and as an entertainment capital of Japan but it is also full of historical places to visit. Osaka Castle is one of them.
The castle is a tourist destination in Japan with plenty of historical sites to offer.
You can enjoy alluring scenery with 400-year-old stone walls which include gigantic stones, a beautiful castle tower and rich nature.

I'm looking forward to seeing you.

One Day Tour with the Magnificent View in Saga Arashiyama
“Wonderful Experience”
I'm so happy we booked the tour for Saga Arashiyama with Atsuko. She was really nice and well prepared. She gave us a list of where we were going to go. We went to a section of the bamboo grove that was not over crowded with tourist. She took us to Toriimoto area and Adashino Nenbutsu Temple, as well as other places. It was very beautiful and scenic. Atsuko was very informative, answered all our questions. We went to a restaurant that had different options for our dietary needs. It was one of the best experiences I've ever had. The pace was just perfect. We took breaks along the way and just enjoyed the views. If I ever get the chance to go back, I will be booking again with her. Definitely recommend Atsuko for your guided tour needs. Thank you, Atsuko.

One Day Tour in the UNESCO World Heritage Site in Nara
“Glad we went to Nara - It is beautiful”
Thank you Atsuko for a lovely tour. It was raining but that didn't stop you for giving us a great time. We had a blast with the deer and remarkable sites that made it memorable for all of us. Like the Osaka tour, you had everything in place with the details. Thank you and for everyone who wants to go, tour with Atsuko. Big thanks, Atsuko!

(42 reviews)Hello Mr. James, Thank you for your kind review and comment for me. Unfortunately, it rained on the day. We could find a beautiful cherry tree in the shrine. It was important to see it when it was hard to find other cherry trees. Thank you for joining my tour in Nara. Best regards, Atsuko
“Osaka - A great place to visit”
We wished the Cherry Blossom were blooming in full force but we had a great time with our Osaka visit. Atsuko was awesome and so caring for the 4 of us. She met us at the cruise port and was so detailed is our tour to ensure that we visited all the must see places. She planned the public transports with ready-to-go Suica cards for all of us. Osaka has a tremendous amount of history that she highlighted throughout the tour. Thank you Atsuko for your professionalism and care for us.

(42 reviews)Hello Mr. James, Thank you for your kind review and comment for me. I really enjoyed the tour with all of you. Unfortunately, we couldn't see cherry flowers because it was cold this spring. Osaka has many attractive places. If you have any chance to visit Osaka again, please let me know. Thank you for joining my tour. Best regards, Atsuko
