Walking Shinsaibashi street and Dotonbori. This area is nice place to enjoy very Osakan things, colorful view and Osaka local food, etc. Umeda area consists of Business buildings, Shopping buildings, Railroad station, and very complicated underground streets. Osaka has a long history as a commercial city and has Castle. You could visit Castle or Museum to learn a little bit of developping history.

About Tour Guide Hiroyuki H.
I'm Hiroyuki.
I was born in Osaka, central city in western Japan, and when I was college student, lived in Kyoto, previous capital of Japan, and now live in Tokyo, current capital.
I have worked for a global company for about 30 years. Working with international members gave me the opportunity to communicate with people with different cultures, and sometimes the opportunity to guide the spots of interest to them.
I found it interesting to show Japanese interesting spots to the guests, such as the wonderful things, strange things, mysterious things, marvelous things.
For the past few years, I tried to improve ability to communicate with people from abroad. Recently, Japanese history intrigued me.
I’m really into finding historical places, local favorites, and unique systems in Japan.
In the tour pages, I am introducing tours in Tokyo and tours in Kyoto and Osaka. I include the orthodox sightseeing places. However, you could also specify some unique local places. Information about local spots and local foods such as Ramen, Udon would be interesting to you. Please contact me and let’s talk about your itinerary specially made to order.
I’m looking forward to hearing from you and to seeing you in Japan.

“Amazing Kyoto experience”
We had a one day tour around Kyoto with Mr. Hiroyuki. We are a family of 7 and he was very accomodating with our paces considering the varied age groups. He shared so much of knowledge regarding all the attractions. And he made travelling around Kyoto very easy. We had a great time with him.

I am delighted that you enjoyed your one-day tour of Kyoto. I imagine you had a busy time taking care of your family member who had sore feet, sending her back to the hotel in the middle of the tour, and then rejoining the tour. Even so, we were able to visit as many places as possible thanks to everyone's cooperation. I hope you all returned safely with many wonderful memories. Hiroyuki

“Discovering Osaka Hiroyuki - April 2025”
We had an amazing experience with our local guide, Hiroyuki, during our half-day tour of Osaka. Hiroyuki's punctuality and warm welcome at our hotel set a positive tone for the day. His extensive knowledge of Osaka Castle, Dotonbori, and the Osaka Museum of Housing and Living made our visit truly enriching. He shared fascinating stories and historical facts that brought each location to life. Hiroyuki's storytelling and deep experience as a guide were evident throughout the tour. His anecdotes about Osaka's history and culture added a unique and personal touch to our visit. He was attentive to our needs, helping us navigate the metro and suggesting the best local snacks. We highly recommend Hiroyuki to anyone looking for an exceptional guide in Osaka. His expertise and friendly nature made our visit unforgettable. Thank you, Hiroyuki, for a fantastic day!

I am delighted that you enjoyed your half-day tour of Osaka. I tried to share general information about the spots, my personal experiences, and my thoughts with you. The tour was lively because you freely shared your opinions and impressions. I would be happy if you would share your travel experiences with your friends and deepen their familiarity with Japan and Osaka. Hiroyuki

“Great tour of Osaka with Hiroyuki”
Our group of four had a FANTASTIC day with Hiroyuki. We explored Osaka Castle, Dontonbori, several shrines and more. We also had a fantastic Okonomiyaka meal at a cool restaurant. Hiroyuki knew all the cool places to see, short cuts around a couple lines, and a lot of Japanese history. His tour was exactly what we wanted: a great local tourguide. His English is very good, and I would strongly recommend him!
Hiroyuki H.
Thank you for recommending me as a guide. It is encouraging for a guide to take a tour with someone who is interested in Japanese history and culture, like you. If you know someone who is interested in Japan, I would love to take a tour with them. Hiroyuki
