Hi! My name is Naoki,
I was born and bred in Osaka. I have a reliable and friendly personality and always enjoy making people smile.
I am a full time Experienced Tour Guide organizing and managing tours, not just in Osaka but all over the Kansai-area including Kyoto, Nara, Kobe and Hiroshima.
I have experience in directly managing groups of over 500 travelers so far and also designing specific itineraries for different needs and sights. If you have any specific sights that you would like to see then please let me know and I will accommodate as many sites as possible into any tour.
Outside of my tour guiding, I have had a career over 15 years in Japanese car logistics taking care of lots of international businesses which allows me to have a professional manner in face to face communication.
Osaka is a brilliant city with long history, amazing street food, unique accent (so we have lots of comedians here!) and also known as the most friendly city in Japan. I would love to be the perfect companion for your visit to one of the best cities in Japan! I look forward to seeing you soon!
Best Regards
Naoki

“The ideal way to be introduced to Osaka”
We started by sitting down and discussing the plan for the day and Naoki was very receptive and adaptable to what I wanted to do and what I wanted to get out of the day. So I was glad that we adapted the plan based on my priorities and what I had already seen. The result was a different plan and one which meant I got full value from the time together. Naoki is easy going and friendly. He knows a lot about Osaka and had additional suggestions along the way. He also provides good knowledge and insights into relevant history as well as Japanese thinking and culture. He completely takes away any stress of getting around in an unfamiliar city and exploring and trying out new things. He also has a very friendly and open disposition and is good company. He will adapt to you and how you want to spend the day. Whether it is follow the steps as planned or vary by introducing something which is very interesting for you. He provides value for money and gives you the introduction to Osaka you want. He helps you to see and learn new things.

“The best introduction to Osaka”
Naoki’s tour was the perfect start to our family holiday in Japan. Naoki’s itinerary was a great balance of historical sites, contemporary culture and practical tips for navigating our way around Osaka. Naoki has a very calm manner and he is very knowledgeable. Naoki ensured that he included areas that our teenage boys would enjoy, and the tour was a highlight of their trip.
