Hi!! I'm 39y.o, half Japanese & half Australian and I've been a trilingual tour guide for 5yr. I love to show my unique perspective of Japan and share incredible & unforgettable experiences with friends, family and tourists.
My rule is if you don't enjoy my tour, you don't pay!!
I have a deep understanding of the inner workings (both history & food) of these areas after living more than 12 years here.
I have amassed a huge amount of knowledge of the back alleys and hidden gems of the Kansai area (Osaka, Kyoto, Nara, Kobe & Wakayama) ...so much so locals are even shocked & amazed.
By giving you a truly, unique, amazing insider experience... I hope that my tour will be the absolute highlight of your Japan stay:)

This was a brilliantly thought out tour from start to finish! Andy, our guide, was spontaneous, passionate, informative and most of all kept us hilariously involved with the locals. A tour like this wouldn't have possible without Andy's charm and encouragement to explore these areas! The best tour i have been on by far as it was so all encompassing!!
Oscar, thanks for your kind words. I hope that the memories of this tour lasts for some time:) Well travelled tourists like yourself generally wanna seek these authentic places out....I'm glad you came!
This was a really unique experience for me. I have travelled the world and I came back to Japan 2 years ago. I wanted to find my own country. So I went on this experience with Andy and came away with such a profound and overwhelning feeling of how Osaka feeling breaths. The other side was a real opener even for me a Japanese. Andy I hope to see you again. Keep the good up!
Eiji it was an absolute pleasure to take you and your group on this tour on the less touristy areas of Osaka. Say hi to Josh for me and I'm sure we'll catch up for some drinks sometime soon:) Cheers, Andy Kenji
Andy showed us a very intersting and one of a kind tour of Osaka which you won't find on a normal tour group Highly recommend and the food pit-stops were lots of fun.
Maya and Eric, thanks so much for making a review for us. It's great even to show foreign travellers and even Japanese people hidden corners and knowledge of a world so often glanced over by most. Im glad you guys enjoyed the winding allleys, yakuza controlled Taisho Era red light district, Abandoned houses area, Retro Zone and the really local food eateries we went to:) It was a pleasure and I hope to see you again some day!!
