Osaka Tour Reviews
“Fun Nightlife”
Hiroki took us to places that we would have never found on our own. Food and bartenders were excellent. Overall a great experience.

(12 reviews)Thank you, Keith. I am glad you liked Yakitori before we met. Surprisingly, you said you like wings and skins. These are my favorites of all time。 At the bar, I enjoyed hearing from your hometown. I knew the US a little but I realized every city is unique. I hope I meet you next time when you come back to Japan next MLB opening game. Best regards, Hiroki
“Super helpful guide through the busy sights and subways of Kyoto! ”
We were visiting Osaka port from a cruise and were intimidated about going our own way to Kyoto, but Hiroki was the best investment to make sure our limited time was as fruitful and stressfree as possible! He planned all the transit meticulously and even had train passes for our family to use so we didn’t have to worry about any logistics. He took us around to some of the top sights in Kyoto and helped us take the perfect family photos - a great keepsake from our trip! We had such a fun time seeing the sights, learning how to throw ninja stars, and tasting delicious foods. He was very attentive when we started to get tired, found spots to sit or buses to save our energy and even ended the day with a little treat! Strongly recommend Hiroki to plan a perfect day in Kyoto!
“Highly Undervalued, Excellent top notch Guide.”
I kid you not, you could spend twice as much for a day out on the town in Osaka with Hiroki and still feel like you got a great bargain. Hiroki grew up in Osaka so he knows it like the back of his hand and knows all the best spots to go. His communication is excellent and he's empathic to the needs of his clients. He knew from the first few minutes that we didn't like crowds so he proactively bought all of the tickets for the events we went to in advance so we skipped huge lines and saved a ton of time. He quietly took amazing photos for us without having to be told and was quick to suggest just the right places to go to eat, shop and have fun. A humble, kind, and genuinely considerate soul. He's a great guide and a good friend to have in Osaka
