“Friendly, Knowledgeable and Enthusiastic Tour Guide”
Takashi was a fabulous guide. He generated two itineraries for us based on what we wanted to see, and made a great plan to see many of Kyoto's great sights. Takashi met us at our hotel, and we went on great tour through the city, seeing sites such as the bamboo forest, Fumishi inari, Yasaka pagoda, Gion and many other locations along the way. We travelled as a group of two, we managed our to navigate ourselves around Tokyo effortlessly, same as Osaka. What we really gained from this was knowledge, history, facts, culture and a deeper meaning to what we are seeing and experiencing from a local (Takashi) who has a real passion for his work. Takashi made our Kyoto trip so much more valuable then just seeing the sights. Thank you Takashi ありがとうごしました

“OSAKA, KIOTO Y NARA ”
Osaka fue una parada de dos dias del crucero y Takashi hizo que aprovecharamos el tiempo al maximo, el primer dias nos movilizamos en un vans que alquilamos de Osaka a Kioto y visitamos todos los sitios mas relevantes, ir con Takashi nos permitió movilizarnos rápido, luego regresamos a Osaka y nos orientó en lo que debíamos hacer por nuestra cuenta. El segundo día nos recogió en la terminal y salimos juntos a Nara, recorrimos Nara y al medio día regresamos a Osaka para terminar de recorrer los sitios mas emblemáticos de Osaka y luego nos llevo a la terminal de cruceros. Takashi es una persona muy educada que nos fue explicando la historia en los diferentes sitios visitados, fue muy eficiente en el uso del tiempo y gracias a él, en el poco tiempo que tuvimos en Osaka, logramos conocer 3 ciudades. Habla perfectamente bien el español, fue un guia EXCELENTE!!

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.

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.

I lived in Seattle, WA US for several years to study public policy and urban planning at University of Washington and Washington State Department of Transportation . The US life has awakened me to realize its beauty and value of the Japanese nature and culture. After coming back from US, I have started my professional career of the infrastructure development in both developed and developing countries as a Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA) expert for more than 20 years. I have provided hospitality and honesty as a Japanese during my professional career. I can give you not only sightseeing tours but also technical tours with my expertise. I live in Osaka where an ancient capital city, Kyoto is located within a hour by train. I can show you how Japanese has developed the capital city with urban planning and infrastructure development. I look forward to seeing you here in Japan.
