About Tour Guide Aki O.
Hello! I’m a local guide based in the Kansai area, offering private and customized tours in Osaka, Kobe, and Kyoto.
I enjoy helping visitors discover not only famous sights, but also the food, shops, neighborhoods, traditions, and everyday experiences that make Japan special. My tours are relaxed and flexible, with plenty of time for questions, conversation, photos, and spontaneous discoveries.
I also work as a Japanese language teacher, which has given me extensive experience communicating with people from different countries and explaining Japanese culture in a clear and approachable way.
Whether you are visiting Japan for the first time, traveling alone, or looking for places beyond the usual tourist routes, I can tailor the experience to your interests and pace. My goal is to help you feel comfortable, discover things you may not find on your own, and leave with meaningful memories of your time in Japan.
I look forward to exploring Osaka, Kobe, or Kyoto with you!

Ayumi S.
Academic Knowledge & Global Mindset – Your Local Expert for Culture and Sports! Hi everyone! I’m Ayumi, a local guide based in the Kansai area. I studied Tourism at University, where I explore the deeper historical and cultural backgrounds of Japan's most famous sites. Having traveled to many countries myself, I know exactly what makes a trip unforgettable, authentic local experiences and stress-free environment. Why book with me? Academic Insight: I don’t just show you the sights; I share the "why" behind them, from the architecture of Himeji Castle to the rituals of a tea ceremony. Active & Diverse: Whether you want to go hiking in Kobe, watch a professional rugby match, Baseball game, Soccer game, or find the best hidden yakitori spots, I’ve got you covered. Flexible & Friendly: I understand the needs of international travelers and will help you navigate Japan (including your JR Pass) with ease. Shopping & Sweets Expert: I am a huge fan of shopping! If you need recommendations for Japanese cosmetics or the best local snacks, just ask me. I especially have a "sweet tooth" for Apple Pie and Daifuku (mochi)—I’m always on the hunt for the best ones in town! Let’s go beyond the guidebooks and discover the real Japan together. I look forward to meeting you in Kyoto, Osaka, or Kobe!
