About Tour Guide Rina K.
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.

Please take note of the following.
*This is a walking tour using public transportation. Train fare, admission fees, and lunch are not included in the guide’s fee.

“An Amazing Osaka Tour Experience with Rina K”
We had an absolutely wonderful experience with our tour guide, Rina K! From beginning to end, she was professional, punctual, friendly, and incredibly knowledgeable. She did an excellent job explaining the history, culture, and significance of each landmark we visited, which made the entire experience so much more meaningful than simply sightseeing on our own. One thing we especially appreciated was how patient and understanding she was with our energetic and rambunctious 3-year-old daughter. Traveling and sightseeing with a toddler isn’t always easy, but Rina was incredibly kind, accommodating, and helpful throughout the day. She made sure our family felt comfortable and never rushed. Another huge reason we decided to hire a guide was to help us navigate Japan’s train system, especially figuring out the correct train lines, stops, transfers, and exits. Rina was fantastic at managing all of this! She made getting around Osaka feel effortless and took away so much of the stress that comes with exploring an unfamiliar city. She also helped us communicate with local Japanese people, which made everything run even more smoothly. What really stood out was her genuine kindness, patience, and willingness to go above and beyond to make sure we enjoyed ourselves. She was straightforward, organized, and attentive to our family’s needs while still making the experience fun and educational. Thank you so much, Rina K, for helping us create such wonderful memories in Osaka! You made our time in Japan even more special, and we truly appreciate everything you did for our family. I would highly recommend Rina to anyone visiting Osaka, especially families traveling with young children or first-time visitors who want to experience the city without the stress of navigating everything on their own. If we ever return to Osaka, we would absolutely love to have Rina as our guide again

“Rina is the best!”
I’m so glad I chose Rina as my tour guide in Osaka! She is kind, knowledgeable, and very easy to get along with. She planned a wonderful itinerary, shared interesting information about the places we visited, and was flexible whenever we wanted to adjust our plans. Rina made our time in Osaka comfortable and memorable. She is one of the best tour guides I’ve had, and I would happily recommend her to anyone visiting the city. Thank you, Rina!

Hi Lourdes and Noel, Thank you so much for your comment! I really appreciate it. I’m so happy to hear that you enjoyed my tour — we walked a lot, but I’m glad you liked the local spots too.

Hi! I had been working for Wakayama Prefectural Government for 38 years, mainly in the field of cultural heritage management and international relations. I am a national certificated English guide and I have a lot of knowledge and experience in the field of cultural heritage management and international relations. I am very good at cultural heritages. And Koyasan and Kumano in Wakayama Prefecture are inscribed in the World Heritage List as parts of “Sacred Sites and Pilgrimage Routes in the Kii Mountain Range". I was a project manager of "the Koyasan and Kumano World Heritage Inscription Project” at Wakayama Prefectural Government. I know inside and out of Koyasan, Kumano, Wakayama and other places in the Kansai area. I have a lot of experience of guiding as I was also in charge of international relations for a long time at the government. I will be able to provide interpretive guiding service for you around Koyasan, Wakayama, Kyoto, Osaka and other places as I was a cultural heritage management and international relations professional. I am sure you will be able to get deeper understandings on Japanese culture and that your trip with me will be memorable one. If you need a good guide in the Tokyo area, I have a friend on GoWithGuide I can recommend you!
