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!

Important

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.

I need 1-1.5 hours more to go to Kyoto.

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.

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 :)

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.

Hello! My name is Natsuko. Thank you for visiting my page. I used to work for a trading company, which gave me the opportunity to use English with overseas business partners. After leaving the company, I became an English teacher for children and I discovered that I really enjoy spending time with kids. I also had the experience of being a host family for international students, and it was so fulfilling to show them around various tourist spots and see them happy. I hope you can have a wonderful experience in Japan too! Would you like to join one of my fun tours? I look forward to seeing you again!
