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.

“Friendly, knowledgeable and accommodating tour!”
Lina was a super friendly, knowledgeable and accommodating tour guide! She met us at our hotel and then took us to spots that we agreed to. She was super helpful with showing us how to navigate the train system and with all translation. I would highly recommend booking with Lina if you want to see different sites around Osaka! Thank you so much Lina!

A Local Friend in Kansai — Meet Atif Hey there! I’m Atif, a travel lover who’s been calling Osaka home for the past few years. What started as a curious adventure quickly turned into a deep love for this region — the food, the people, and all the little hidden corners that make Kansai so special. Now, I spend my days sharing those discoveries with travelers who want to see the real Japan — not just the postcard version. What I Offer Fun & Flexible Tours: No boring scripts here! I plan each tour around you — whether you love taking photos, tasting street food, exploring quiet temples, or getting lost in neon-lit backstreets. Local Secrets: After years of wandering Osaka, Kyoto, Nara, and Kobe, I’ve found the best hidden gems — from tiny noodle shops to peaceful gardens and back-alley shrines. Laughs & Memories: My tours aren’t just about facts — they’re about fun. Expect stories, local legends, and maybe even a karaoke challenge (if you’re brave enough)! Why Travel with Me Because travel should feel like exploring with a local friend, not following a flag in a crowd. I love good food, spontaneous detours, and showing people the Kansai that most tourists miss. Whether it’s your first visit or your fifth, I’ll make sure you experience something new — and unforgettable. Let’s Start the Adventure! Ready to explore Osaka, Kyoto, Nara, or Kobe? Let’s laugh, learn, eat, and wander together — Kansai style!
