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!

Rina K.
Welcome to Osaka! My name is Rina, and I’m happy to guide you through my hometown. My tours are designed for travelers who want to experience Japan at a slower pace, savoring local neighborhoods, cafés, and everyday culture. Since July 2025, I’ve guided guests from many countries. I enjoy hearing about their lives and cultures, and I’m always glad to see their reactions to Japan. Everyday details here—food, traditions, or even train announcements—often feel new and exciting to visitors, and sharing those discoveries together is very rewarding. Osaka is often called the “city of kuidaore,” where food is central to life. Local specialties include takoyaki, kushikatsu, and okonomiyaki, but you’ll also find Osaka’s famous spice curry, countless bakeries, and cozy udon shops. Landmarks such as Osaka Castle, the Glico neon sign, and Tsutenkaku Tower are iconic, yet the city—sometimes referred to as the “city of rivers”—also invites you to stroll along the waterways and discover retro architecture. Beyond the major sights, let’s dive deeper into Osaka’s everyday culture and hidden corners. Osaka is also the ideal base for exploring Kansai. In one day, you can visit Kyoto’s temples, Nara’s deer, Kobe’s harbor, or Shiga’s lakeside scenery. With more time, you can even reach Hiroshima’s Itsukushima Shrine or enjoy the food culture of Fukuoka. Join me for a relaxed journey through Osaka. Together, we’ll enjoy its flavors, sights, and stories at a comfortable pace. I look forward to welcoming you to Osaka!

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!

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!
