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!

“Perfect tour guide! ”
Kazu exceeded our expectations. He is a super nice guy and so knowledgeable about Osaka! We were impressed with how effortlessly he showed us around. We were able to experience many restaurants and food items that we wouldn’t have been able to without him. Thank you, Kazu!

Thank you for joining my tour! Since it was the weekend, everywhere was crowded and we didn’t have many options for places to go. But next time you come to Osaka, I’d love to introduce you to some other spots!

Kazu was fantastic to spend time with and made sure my teenage son saw everything he wanted to see. We had a great time and enjoyed a good meal too! Thank you for everything!!!

“Fun time in ”
From the beginning of our interaction Kazu was very attentive to detail making sure we got the most of time together. We had a great time chatting with him throughout our tour. He found the best places to get some sailor moon and ghibli merchandise. We also asked to visit less touristy places in Osaka to eat or drink and try unique foods that we would never order on our own. First time trying seared raw chicken and it was delicious! Having Kazu with us, helped interact with the restaurant chefs in a more casual way which even got us some extra unique dishes. Thanks for taking us around, we had a great time!

Kazu Y.
Thank you so much for joining the tour! Since it was a short tour, we didn’t have quite enough time, but I’m glad I was still able to show you a variety of places. Japan has many more unique foods, so I hope you’ll try some others next time you visit!

Hello, everyone! Welcome to Japan. My name is Noboru. I’m a national licensed guide. I was born in Osaka and spent my university student life in Kyoto. And now I have been in Himeji for over 35 years. These cities are in Kansai aea. So,I'm very much familiar with the sightseeing spots and attractions in the area, especially Himeji and its neighboring cities. If you are looking for someone to show you around the area, please join my tour. I will show you special local dishes in the area as well. Looking forward to seeing your smile soon.

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.
