“Fun Historic Tour”
Great and enthusiastic guide! She brought us to Korea town and the museum of housing and living. On the way, she talked about the history of Japan’s culture and religious history and I found it interesting. It is clear she is passionate about Japan’s rich history and loves to share it with the world. Thanks Akari!

I just wanted to take a moment to thank you for joining me your special day for two of you. It was truly a pleasure to guide you through the Korean Market, and I thoroughly enjoyed introduce Japanese history. Exploring Korean Market together and diving into local fish Market and its rich cultural stories was such a rewarding experience, especially when we had the chance to meet and talk to some local Market lady and try whale skin along the way. Your curiosity and interest made the morning even more enjoyable, and I hope you took away some memorable insights about this vibrant city. It’s always wonderful to share a deeper understanding of Japan's past and present with fellow people like you. Should you ever return to Osaka, I’d be happy to show you more hidden gems of the city! Wishing you safe travels and hope our paths cross again soon. Than you very much Jay and Z
