This was a fantastic day planned by Kazu san. We saw everything we wanted to see and more in Osaka. Kazu san was so knowledgeable of the history which truly gave us an appreciation of the culture we came to explore. He was so professional, organized, kind and a pleasure to talk with throughout the day. I highly recommend his tours.
Thanks for the nice review. I am very happy to have guided your lovely family too. Sorry for making you walk so much. I hope this tour will be a memorable one. And, please visit Japan in near future. Thank you very much. Best regards, Kazuhiko Goto
