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!
I have another job and I'm usually not available in the morning.
I could make time in the morning if you book my tour a month before the date or earlier.
The schedule below is my usual available time but my work schedule is different every week, so feel free to contact me if you are interested in my tours!
I need 1-1.5 hours more to go to Kyoto.
-Monday:from around 5 pm
-Tuesday:from around 6 pm
-Wednesday:from around 2 pm
-Friday:from around 8 pm
-Saturday:from around 2 pm

“Lots of fun taking in pop culture!”
My son and I had a great time with Kazu in and around Osaka taking in the Anime and pop culture location! Would definitely recommend!

Thank you so much for your review! We had a busy tour because we walked a lot to go to pop culture places as many as possible but I hope you had a good time :) Enjoy the rest of your trip!
“A helpful and understanding guide”
Kazu is a very flexible, helpful, and understanding guide. We booked his night tour, and we messaged several times prior to the day as he sought to tailor the tour to our particular tastes. When the time came, though, I unfortunately had to cancel as after touring Japan for two weeks prior, I finally reached the point where my feet wouldn't carry me any further. When I couldn't make it, Kazu was very understanding and gave us suggestions for things near our hotel instead. Ever since I first contacted Kazu, his communication has been excellent, and he has shown a kind nature. I have no doubt the tour would have been fun, and wish we could have made it. I hope to return to Osaka and have the chance to book with him again - and this time, pace myself so I can make it! Thanks for being great about this, Kazu.

Thank you so much for your review! Let me show you around Osaka when you come to Osaka again :) I look forward to meeting you next time!
“Amazing day out in Osaka!”
Myself and my husband spent a day with Kazu exploring Osaka. Kazu was very friendly with excellent english. He developed an amazing itinerary for us both with a mix of things we both wanted to do (from historic shrines and sake tasting to anime/gaming shops and a local BBQ restaurant). I strongly recommend getting a local guide in Osaka to help prioritise and navigate around the main tourist sites but also to take you to good local places and more peaceful areas and shrines. Osaka can otherwise be a bit overwhelming with the amount of sites, restaurants, bars, shops etc. to visit! Kazu was able to show us many places we otherwise would have struggled to find. He was also very helpful and answered the many questions I had throughout the day. I would definitely have Kazu as our guide again.

Thank you so much for your review! We went to many different places for pop culture, food, and traditional things this time. I hope I can see you again and show you around more local places in Osaka next time :)
