大家好! 我姓北澤,現住在大阪。我從'80年代開始到2000年代作為國際貿易公司的常駐代表先後在中國大陸的大連，北京，上海與深圳常駐了共7次,時間共達18年,走遍了中國的60個城市與地區。每次均承蒙中國朋友們的格外關照，對此表示衷心的感謝! 關於台灣,也因公出差了20次左右,訪問了台北，基隆,高雄與台中，亦受到了熱情接待,表示衷心的感謝! 至於香港,有過因公出差或私人旅遊，訪問了十多次，也成為很好的回憶。現在，我作為日本政府國土交通省(交通部)觀光廳(旅遊局)批准的口譯導遊開始工作,已經為中國大陸，台灣以及其他國家‧地區的華人提供了優質的導遊服務。希望繼續為中國，台灣,香港,新加坡以及其他國家‧地區的華人遊客們介紹美麗的日本風光,日本美食以及日本文化等。希望各位隨時垂詢。我將竭盡全力為大家提供優質服務, 謝謝大家!

Hi, I'm Koko— Osaka tour guide (Tourism degree), Japanese teacher, local foodie, and a mom who loves exploring! With 12+ years in language education and global travel experience (6 years abroad, around 30 countries!), I know how to make your trip smooth, comfortable, and fun! As an experienced guide, I deeply understand global cultures, local food, and history, and I love sharing hidden culinary gems and fun local stories! I love going beyond tourist spots to connect with locals, taking you to places you'd never find on your own. I'm always on the hunt for the best bite in town and love weaving historical stories into our food walks! - What a day with me feels like We'll go where locals go—big sights if you want, but also the streets tourists usually miss. We'll eat like Osakans: cozy local spots for real soul food, or a quiet café for sweets. Plus, as a Japanese teacher, I can teach you fun, practical phrases along the way! - Everyone is welcome! Solo travelers, couples, friends, or families—I love creating a fun, comfortable vibe for everyone! Traveling with kids? As a mom and kids' English teacher, I know how to keep little ones happy and included! - Let's plan your day I have a few tour styles ready to go, but I love building custom itineraries too. Whether you have a few hours, half a day, or a full day, tell me your interests and pace, and I'll create a day that fits you. Let's make your time in Osaka feel less like sightseeing—and more like coming home. Come meet Osaka like you already have a friend here!

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.

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!
