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.

Kazu Y.
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!

Ayumi S.
Academic Knowledge & Global Mindset – Your Local Expert for Culture and Sports! Hi everyone! I’m Ayumi, a local guide based in the Kansai area. I studied Tourism at University, where I explore the deeper historical and cultural backgrounds of Japan's most famous sites. Having traveled to many countries myself, I know exactly what makes a trip unforgettable, authentic local experiences and stress-free environment. Why book with me? Academic Insight: I don’t just show you the sights; I share the "why" behind them, from the architecture of Himeji Castle to the rituals of a tea ceremony. Active & Diverse: Whether you want to go hiking in Kobe, watch a professional rugby match, Baseball game, Soccer game, or find the best hidden yakitori spots, I’ve got you covered. Flexible & Friendly: I understand the needs of international travelers and will help you navigate Japan (including your JR Pass) with ease. Shopping & Sweets Expert: I am a huge fan of shopping! If you need recommendations for Japanese cosmetics or the best local snacks, just ask me. I especially have a "sweet tooth" for Apple Pie and Daifuku (mochi)—I’m always on the hunt for the best ones in town! Let’s go beyond the guidebooks and discover the real Japan together. I look forward to meeting you in Kyoto, Osaka, or Kobe!

Shuji O.
Hi, I am Shuji, a licensed tour guide living near Kansai International Airport. I taught world history in high schools for four decades. So, I can explain Japanese culture or history in an easier way tailored to you who have different cultural and historical backgrounds. I also practiced Kendo, Japanese fencing, for more than four decades, and now I enjoy growing vegetables and going fishing. Therefore, I can also share some Japanese culture and its nature. I have traveled to more than 25 countries and all over Japan. I’m also passionate about photography and know many photogenic places in Japan. If you prefer to go off the beaten track, I can take you to hidden gems, including some cozy restaurants. Of course, I also know how to enjoy the crowded, most popular tourist sites. I am here to make your trip stress-free. See you soon!
