About Tour Guide Yacine Z.
I've been living in Japan since 2016. I speak fluent Japanese and work as a translator in addition to my guiding activities. I'd be delighted to guide you around the Kansai region, which includes Osaka, Kyoto, Kobe and Nara, among others. I've been lucky enough to guide over 500 people since I started guiding, and I hope to be able to share my passion for Japan with as many people as possible.
I'm available for half-day or full-day tours.
Tours are available in English, Spanish, or French, depending on your preferences.

“Visite avec Yacine”
Nous avons découvert la ville d'Osaka avec Yacine et c'était absolument formidable. Tout était parfait, le programme, adapté aux petits et aux grands, l'histoire de la ville et ses anecdotes. Je vous recommande vivement de réserver une visite avec Yacine à Osaka ou ailleurs lors de votre visite du Japon !

“Yacine is a top-class guide who made our 4 days in Osaka and Kobe truly unforgettable.”
From start to finish, he planned our visits perfectly for both adults and teenagers, ensuring that each day was enjoyable and engaging for everyone. Thanks to his advice, we avoided crowded spots and discovered unique places that made the tour feel truly special. The itinerary was well-organised, thoughtfully planned, and tailored to our interests. Yacine’s knowledge, professionalism, and friendly approach made the experience smooth, relaxed, and memorable. Thank you, Yacine, for this wonderful experience of Osaka and Kobe. We highly recommend anyone looking for a guide in the area to reach out to him — you won’t be disappointed!

Hi, I'm Rina. Thank you for your interest, and welcome to Japan. If you’re unsure about what to do in Osaka, don’t worry — I’m here to help. I can support you with transportation, food recommendations, hidden neighborhoods, and nearby cities, so you can enjoy your trip with confidence. Feel free to message me anytime. Let me introduce a little bit about myself. I’m a local Osaka resident, born and raised here. I love traveling, so I know how fun it is to talk to locals and visit everyday places. I’m also raising my child here, so I know many spots that families and kids can enjoy too. I guide travelers from a warm, everyday Japanese perspective as someone who truly loves this city and wants to share its real charm. I enjoy taking guests into local neighborhoods where you can try unique dishes and discover places only locals know. If you’re not sure which tour fits you, just send me a message — I can customize a relaxed, local-style experience just for you.

Nice to meet you! My name is Tatsuya. I was born and raised in Osaka. I love traveling the world and communicating with all kinds of people. I also have a caring personality, so I would love to share the charms of Osaka, its people, and its food with people all over the world! I provide sightseeing tours not only in Osaka but also in Kyoto and Nara. I offer transportation services for hotels, cruise ships, and airports as well!

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!
