About Tour Guide Kazu Y.
Please check "IMPORTANT".
Hi, I’m Kazuto! Please call me “Kazu”! I was born and raised in Osaka.
I’ve been working as a Japanese tutor and sometimes show my students around Osaka.
My students sometimes feel stressed in Japan due to the language barrier even though they study Japanese and I’ve decided to become a tour guide in Kansai to help tourists!
DO YOU WANT A STRESS-FREE TRIP?
I can be your private concierge for your trip.
Let me know if you need any help!
By the way, I like anime, manga, video games, I’m an Otaku :)
There are a lot of “otaku” places in Osaka like “Nintendo Osaka”, “Pokemon Center”, “Shonen-JUMP store”, “Universal Studio Japan” and so on.
I want to show impressive Japanese Pop Culture so much!!
Japan has limited-time anime, game or manga-collab cafes. You have to book for many of them and I can help you with the booking!
Also, I like eating out! I can offer bar-hopping tours, share good ramen restaurants, and so on!
I’m looking forward to seeing you! Let’s explore deep Osaka!

“Great evening”
We had a great evening with Kazu who showed us around three different bars/izakayas. He listened to our requests and showed us some really hidden places, which was awesome. Thank you!

Kazu Y.
Thank you very much for joining the tour! I know it must have been a bit tough going to three different places for sake, highballs, and plum wine in the rain, so I’m really glad you enjoyed it. If you have another chance to visit Japan, I would be happy to guide you again!

“Pop culture tour of Kobe”
We booked with Kazu for an early evening tour our first night in the area. We had our young adult son with us and wanted to see what the young people like to see. Vintage clothing, records, food, etc. Kazu organized everything and selected some unique curated shops, food stalls, and finally dinner reservations for us. Kazu was well prepared, professional, and easy to be with. He has a youthful energy and we all enjoyed the tour.

Thank you very much for joining the tour the other day! We visited a lot of places that I thought you might be interested in as time allowed, so I imagine it was a rather busy tour, but I’m very glad to hear that you enjoyed it.

“Kazu is the best!”
3 of us went out with Kazu and he showed us many places that we would have never found ourselves. Truly made our trip unforgettable, Kazu you are the best!

Thank you very much for joining the tour! We had to make a few changes to the plan on the day, but I’m really glad to hear that you enjoyed it. Please feel free to contact me again when you visit Japan next time!

Nicolas I.
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.
