About Tour Guide Nicolas I.
Hello, my name is Nicolas. I’m originally from Argentina and have been living in Japan for the past eight years, proudly calling Osaka my home. Being married to a Japanese wife has given me a strong personal connection to the culture and a deeper understanding of everyday life here, far beyond what most visitors get to see.
Tourism has always been my passion and profession, and I have spent these years working in the tour industry, helping travelers discover Japan in a meaningful and enjoyable way. I love sharing not only the famous landmarks, but also the small details, stories, and local experiences that make this country so special.
My goal is to make every tour feel relaxed, authentic, and memorable—like exploring Japan with a knowledgeable friend who truly loves living here. I look forward to welcoming you and showing you this amazing place I now call home.

“Touring with a Star”
We took four "tours" on our trip to Japan, and our day with Nicolas was the standout! Nicolas curated the perfect day for us to combine our interests, the important sites, and our pacing. The stops we made, including refereshments and lunch, were perfect and memorable. The information he provided us about the history behind the locations was fascinating. Having VIP transport was a bonus that helped greatly with some mobility limiations. Nicolas was on top of every detail and absolutely charming. I highly recommend booking a tour with him.

“Perfect walk.”
Nico was an awesome guy to meet and have as a guide around Osaka. Very down to earth and knowledgeable of Japanese culture and history. Honestly it was like walking around with a good friend from home. Thanks again Nico.

“THE ABSOLUTE BEST GUIDE WE HAVE EVER MET”
We spent yesterday touring Osaka with Nicolas, and he is without a doubt the best guide we have ever met! From the very beginning, he was incredibly responsive and open to all our questions even the day before the actual tour. His customer service and dedication are top-notch; he even met us at the station to pick us up and made sure we safely boarded the right train back at the end of the day. What makes Nicolas truly exceptional is how he tailors his approach. He has a very jovial, sweet, and funny personality, and he explains things in a way that perfectly fits todays modern clients. He has a massive and impressive knowledge of Japanese history, as well as the country’s economic and financial situation over the past 20 years. He seamlessly blends expert explanations with a hilarious twist, and he is a master at tuning into the specific needs and questions of his customers. He is just enormously sympathetic and made our time in Osaka unforgettable. If you are looking for an amazing guide in Japan, look no further! Jochen&Koen
