“Wonderfully Friendly Guide”

We had a lovely afternoon walking through Nakazakicho and Tenma with Yuji. He is an incredibly friendly, pleasant, and enthusiastic guide who clearly enjoys sharing Osaka with visitors. He navigated the areas perfectly, showed us charming hidden spots, and answered all our questions helpfully and clearly.

Thank you so much for your warm comment, Joseph. It was a real pleasure guiding you around in the Nakazakicho neighborhood and I’m glad to know you enjoyed it. I also had a wonderful time with you and your family. I would be more than happy if I became a part of your great memories of Japan.
