“Kyoto Day Trip”
Atsuko promptly replied to questions/concerns prior to our confirming our booking which put us at ease. We are from California and an elderly friend from the states also happened to be in Osaka joined up so there was 4 Adults. Atsuko promptly met us at our Hotel in Osaka, explained the plan for the day & off we went. 1st Stop: The Bamboo Forest: 2nd Stop: The Golden Pagoda; 3rd Stop: Lunch @ Local Restaurant (she picked a Great Choice!) 4th Stop: Nijo Castle; 5th Stop: Kyoto Station; 6th Stop: Gion Area; 7th & Last Stop: Nishiki Market It was not just the various places we visited, Atsuko went through the places with us to explain its significance & history. She pointed things out that we would had missed if we toured on our own. The were other stops on our itinerary but my wife & elderly friend who is not accustomed to such walking became tired so we shortened the tour. Atsuko was very kind & patient as we occasionally needed to wait to them to rest-up. I highly recommend Atsuko and would certainly refer acquaintances to her upon knowing their plans to visit Osaka and/or Kyoto.

“Wonderful day exploring Osaka!”
Atsuko was lovely to deal with from the start and I had to change the itinerary quite last minute and she was super accomodating and understanding. We had a tailored itinerary and she was very flexible in how much time we spent in each location. She managed to book a special restaurant for our lunch which we thoroughly enjoyed. We covered all the areas in our itinerary and she gave helpful tips for other things to do in Osaka including which cruises were available. Thank you Atsuko and looking forward to catching up soon!

Hi I'm Rina. Thank you for your interest, and welcome to Japan. I was born and raised in Osaka, and I’m truly excited to show you both the city’s famous landmarks and its hidden gems. Osaka is full of incredible food and fun places to explore. I enjoy guiding guests into Osaka’s hidden, local neighborhoods where you can taste unusual dishes and discover spots only locals know. I look forward to guiding you through an Osaka you’ll want to return to. Soy principiante y no hablo mucho español, pero me encanta recibir a huéspedes hispanohablantes.
