Shitennoji temple
Shitennoji is the head temple of the Wa-shu sect, located in Tennoji Ward, Osaka City; it is an ancient temple regarded as the first state-sponsored Buddhist temple in Japan. It is said to have been founded by Prince Shotoku in 593, the first year of the reign of Empress Suiko.

This power spot is known for its 12m-tall photogenic lion hall. When you visit, pray for business success, love, protection from evil, and luck in competitions.

The charm of Dotonbori River is the huge neon signs lining the lively riverside area and the opportunity to enjoy Osaka gourmet food such as takoyaki and okonomiyaki. You can also enjoy shopping in the arcade. I will also take you to Don Quijote.

“Osaka sighseeing with a local”
It was a cool and enjoyable tour, I had a lot of fun!! We moved across Osaka in a good air-conditioned car, so +41C heat was not a problem at all. Due to knowledge of shotcuts and best routes, we've managed to see all the key spots quickly and in comfort and not being impacted by the heat. Other highlights include visiting the best shopping spots on demand, having a delicious dinner in a local spot and visiting non-tourist places. Highly recommended!

Tatsuya M.
Thank you so much as well. It was a fun day with you. We not only visited tourist spots, but we also talked about all sorts of things, and I enjoyed talking about denim. Let's meet again sometime, and let's go out for a delicious meal again.

“Amazing Kyoto”
This was the second day with Tatsuya just as good as the first. He is definitely into Japanese food and wanting you to experience it without being pushy. So we enjoyed great Japanese food. We had the best experience with the rickshaw, which we were thinking of not doing but Tatsuya did say that all his guests loved it. He was so right about that. It is amazing and the trip through the bamboo forest was a stand out of the day. The whole day was a great experience.
Tatsuya M.
Thank you for another wonderful time today. I really would have liked to show you around more, but we were limited by your ferry schedule. I'm so glad you enjoyed the rickshaw ride and the Japanese food. I'll show you around even more next time!

“A beautiful city, with great culture and sights to see old and new. ”
Tatsuya is fantastic guide and wants make sure you see on your itinerary. Then add his own personal touch and information. We were hot and ready to call it a day, and Tatsuya would have been obliging to take us back to the ship but we knew that he wanted to show us everything in the city he is so proud of. So luckily for us we stuck with what he had planned. A great traditional Japanese restaurant and food the city lights from 300mtrs above street level and so much more. What a really great person he is. His car is comfortable and air conditioned which was a must in mid summer in Japan. Thank you so much Tatsuya, my Japanese is so much better now with your help.
Tatsuya M.
Thank you, too, for a wonderful two days. Beyond just the guiding, I really appreciated the chance to talk with you about so many things—from family to life in general. I’m so glad you enjoyed the Japanese restaurants and the food! I wish you all the best for the rest of your trip and for the future. Let’s meet again!

A tour that combines the best of three cities' castles and shrines
Osaka Castle in Osaka, Kinkakuji Temple in Kyoto, and Todaiji Temple in Nara. This tour takes you to the symbols of these three cities! Normally, it would be impossible to cover all of these in one day, but with a private car, it's possible! Those who are short on time, dislike traveling, or have mobility issues are all welcome. The highlight of the trip will be seeing deer. Let's go on a super compact trip!
