“Fantastic Day tour of Osaka.”
We couldn't have asked for a better guide than Takashi for our Osaka day tour! From the moment he met us directly at our train carriage, his thoughtfulness was evident. He immediately helped us with our luggage, efficiently organizing storage at the station so we could explore comfortably. Throughout our journey across Osaka, from the modern entertainment spots in Umeda (Pokémon, One Piece, and Jump stores) to the historic Shinsekai district, Takashi's knowledge was impressive. He skillfully navigated us through the rail system and shared fascinating historical insights that brought each location to life. The Christmas illuminations were even more magical with his expert guidance on the best viewing spots. What truly set Takashi apart was his attentiveness and genuine care for our experience. He seamlessly balanced keeping us on schedule while ensuring we had enough time to enjoy each location. At the end of our wonderful day, he went above and beyond by helping us retrieve our luggage and personally escorting us to our hotel. Takashi's professionalism, extensive knowledge, and warm personality made our Osaka tour unforgettable. I highly recommend him to anyone seeking a knowledgeable and caring guide who goes the extra mile to create a perfect day in Osaka.

Hi! I'm Koichi. I was born in Osaka, I studied in Kyoto when I was a university student. Now I live in Shiga next to Kyoto. I am a national government licensed tour guide. I have been guiding about 160 groups over the past twelve months. I usually guide my customers mainly in Kansai region including Kyoto, Nara, Osaka, Kobe and Shiga by public transportation systems. Well, I am curious about Japanese history, especially the history of Japan's ancient times since I was raised next to the world biggest mausoleum of the ancient Emperor called "Nintoku" in Sakai city Osaka which has just become one of the world cultural heritage sites. I dug out some ancient earthen ware vessels around there when I was a primary school student like the adventure archaeologist “Indiana Jones" (It’s our secret!!). That was my hobby. Now, one of my hobbies is outdoor activities such as mountaineering, kayaking, skiing and others. So I would like to take you to some good places where you can enjoy Japanese unique nature. I love to guide foreign visitors from all over the world. I think it is my calling or heavenly given job. Let's go and enjoy together! I hope to see you soon.

Hello. My name is Atsuko.I'm a licensed tour guide in Japan. I have lived in Osaka since I was born. I have guided many tourists all over the world as a volunteer for 6 years. I like showing my tourists my favorite places in Japan and talking with them. Osaka, where I was born and raised, is famous for foods, modern and ancient cultures. Nara and Kyoto, which are neighboring places, were ancient capitals in Japan. I'm happy to visit those places with you.
