“Kyoto day tour”
Writing Takashi M was a great tour guide for our group of seven. Even though it was raining, he did an excellent job making sure everyone had a great experience. He was friendly, knowledgeable, and made the tour enjoyable for our whole group. I would definitely use him again and highly recommend Takashi to anyone looking for a great tour guide in Kyoto

“Takashi was a wonderful tour guide!”
Firstly, I would rate Takashi 6 stars. He was on time and we had a wonderful day with him. He took us to a small town called Mio, where my grandparents immigrated to Canada 130 years ago. Takashi, went out of his way to show us Mio, including a temple, shrine, lighthouse and a wonderful place for lunch(best lunch on our 3 week trip). It was a great day and he was so good about telling us about Osaka on our 2 hour drive to Mio. I would highly recommend Takashi any time and we will be telling friends to use him when they visit Osaka or Kyoto. Floyd & Sheila
Takashi M.
Thank you so much for your wonderful review! It was a pleasure helping you discover your family’s history in Mio. I’m glad you enjoyed the sights, local lunch, and our conversations along the way. Thank you for your kind recommendation. I hope to see you both again in the future!:)

Hi, I'm Rina. Thank you for your interest, and welcome to Japan. If you’re unsure about what to do in Osaka, don’t worry — I’m here to help. I can support you with transportation, food recommendations, hidden neighborhoods, and nearby cities, so you can enjoy your trip with confidence. Feel free to message me anytime. Let me introduce a little bit about myself. I’m a local Osaka resident, born and raised here. I love traveling, so I know how fun it is to talk to locals and visit everyday places. I’m also raising my child here, so I know many spots that families and kids can enjoy too. I guide travelers from a warm, everyday Japanese perspective as someone who truly loves this city and wants to share its real charm. I enjoy taking guests into local neighborhoods where you can try unique dishes and discover places only locals know. If you’re not sure which tour fits you, just send me a message — I can customize a relaxed, local-style experience just for you.

Kokoro O.
Hi, I'm Koko — an Osaka tour guide with a degree in tourism, a Japanese teacher, a local foodie, and a mom who loves exploring! Before guiding, I spent over a decade in a client-facing sales role in the language education industry, including planning English training programs for major global Japanese companies. Listening to clients, communicating clearly, and keeping everything running smoothly and on schedule — that's exactly the skill set I now bring to guiding. I've also lived abroad for 6 years and traveled to around 30 countries, so I know what it feels like to be the visitor in a new city. I love sharing the Osaka locals actually live in: famous sights, yes, but also the streets, markets, and cozy eateries you'd never find on your own. We'll eat like Osakans — real soul food at lively local spots, or a quiet café for sweets — and as a Japanese teacher, I can teach you fun, practical phrases along the way! Solo travelers, couples, friends, or families — everyone is welcome. Traveling with kids? As a mom and a kids' English teacher, I know how to keep little ones happy and included. I have a few tour styles ready to go, but I love building custom itineraries too. A few hours, half a day, or a full day — tell me your interests and pace, and I'll design a day that fits you. Let's make your time in Osaka feel less like sightseeing — and more like coming home. Come meet Osaka like you already have a friend here!
