About Tour Guide Niko T.
KONNICHIWA!!
I’m Niko!
I’ve lived in Australia and worked at the Osaka Expo 2025.
Through those experiences, I met people from all over the world — we hung out together, and I loved taking them to hidden local spots that tourists usually don’t find, like cozy cafés, local restaurants, and beautiful nature spots.
I’m a very friendly person who loves learning new things. I enjoy not only sharing unique and lesser-known sides of Japan, but also hearing stories about your country and anything you’d like to talk about!
I’m a big FOODIE! (Please go to my galleries!)
Please let me make you try my favorite Japanese foods!!
I also love taking a pictures and will always bring my camera with me, , so I can take beautiful photos of you during the tour — and you’ll get them on the spot as a little gift !
Providing warm hospitality to people is truly my joy.
You won’t regret joining my tour — I promise!
Can’t wait to meet you soon!

“Niko was absolutely fantastic! ”
We had a wonderful full‑day tour in Osaka with Niko, and she was absolutely fantastic! She is incredibly charming, attentive, and so easy to be around. The family especially appreciated how naturally she connected with the children, patient, fun, and always making sure they were engaged and comfortable throughout the day. Her guidance, local knowledge, and warm personality made the entire experience smooth and enjoyable for everyone. We are truly grateful for her support and would highly recommend Niko to anyone looking for a friendly and reliable guide in Osaka. Arigatou!

Sacred mountain trekking at Mt. Miwa
O-miwa Shrine is known to be the oldest shrine in Japan and Japanese Shinto. Mt. Miwa stands just behind O-miwa Shrine because it is the sacred mountain as well as the object of worship, which is said to be reserving the primitive style of Japanese Shinto and Shrine.

Kumano-Kodo Choishi-michi/One day tour
Walk one of World Heritage Kumano-Kodo trails "Choishi-michi" which is nearest to Osaka and Kyoto. It is an antient access way to Koyasan fonded by the great monk Kukai. Its name is coming from the 180 stupas (Choishi) stand along the trail, which people have been prayed to. The total distance is 22km, takes roughly 7 hours without transportation/rest if you have good physical ability. The trail mostly keeps its original style when opened.
