About Tour Guide Lina Y.
Hi! my name is Lina from Osaka! I’m a beginner tour guide, so I would really appreciate your patience and kindness. I speak American English, and I’m not good at understanding other accents
I love sharing Japanese culture with visitors and seeing their reactions when they learn something new. My hobbies include art, DJing, and sewing, and I enjoy discovering the best spots for sightseeing and local treats.

“Fun Evening Walking Around the Osaka Castle Area”
Lina-san guided me around Osaka to an Okonomiyaki dinner location and to view the castle at night. She is an intelligent young lady who knows her city well and who also is interested in the U.S. (she had a NASA shirt on which I thought was pretty cool), so we had a lot of good conversations. I can 100% recommend her!

KONNICHIWA!! I’m Niko! I’ve lived in Australia and worked at the Osaka Expo 2025. Through those experiences, I met people from all over the world — we hung out together, and I loved taking them to hidden local spots that tourists usually don’t find, like cozy cafés, local restaurants, and beautiful nature spots. I’m a very friendly person who loves learning new things. I enjoy not only sharing unique and lesser-known sides of Japan, but also hearing stories about your country and anything you’d like to talk about! I’m a big FOODIE! (Please go to my galleries!) Please let me make you try my favorite Japanese foods!! I also love taking a pictures and will always bring my camera with me, , so I can take beautiful photos of you during the tour — and you’ll get them on the spot as a little gift ! Providing warm hospitality to people is truly my joy. You won’t regret joining my tour — I promise! Can’t wait to meet you soon!

Welcome to Osaka! Hi I'm Rina! Osaka is my hometown, and I’m so excited to guide you here! I started tour guiding in July 2025, and since then I’ve welcomed guests from Australia, the U.S., Thailand, Germany, Russia, Switzerland, and more. Each tour has left me with special memories—it’s always a pleasure to hear stories about your country. I also learn a lot from my guests. Some are fascinated by architecture, others love taking photos of food samples, or notice details like manhole designs, women-only train cars, or even the British accent in station announcements. What feels ordinary to me often becomes a fresh discovery for my guests, and those exchanges make every tour truly special. Osaka is full of delicious restaurants—so many that it’s hard to choose! Let’s explore local food together, find the best sunset and night-view spots, and enjoy the city’s charm side by side. Join me to discover Osaka, from its iconic castle to the latest must‑see spots. And if you’d like, we can combine Osaka with day trips to Nara, Kyoto, Kobe, or Shiga to experience even more of Kansai’s beauty. Looking forward to seeing you in Osaka!
