“ Excellent time ”

My daughter and I did a tour with Hiroki and the experience left us with a majestic impression of beautiful Osaka. Hiroki was so gracious and met us at our hotel and we discussed some options that fit with our desires. The tour covered amongst many things Osaka castle, walked thru some incredible shopping and best of all the Osaka Aquarium. Hiroki went above and beyond my expectations as a guide as he fixed some issues with our IC card, eased our tour with ticket purchasing and best of all was his flexibility with our sight seeing options (as we spent a good part of our day looking for some obscure Washi paper around Osaka). My daughter played with a seal in the Osaka aquarium which was a transcending experience. It would be fantastic to come back and tour Osaka again with Hiroki. From the bottom of our hearts: Thank you for being such a great Osaka host.

“ Great backstreet food tour! ”

Hiro was a great guide with everything meticulously mapped out ahead of time. We loved trying Oden from a family owned place that had about 6 seats. We went to a great, small Yakitori place with fun and lively staff and guests. We had Takoyaki and Gyoza at different places. The kids stopped to do archery and cork guns. We also went to an Udon place and a restaurant where you can catch your own fish…if you desire. Lastly, Hiro treated us to dessert-taiyaki. The tour was the best way to spend one of our last nights in Osaka. I would highly recommend!! Thank you.

To Olivia and her lovely family, Thank you for leaving wonderful comments. I wanted you to enjoy Japan more than ever. It was my pleasure to hear that way more than I thought. Lastly, there is more than you ate in Japan. Someday, you will come back and try other local foods. Thank you very much from my heart.
