About Tour Guide Tatsuya M.
Nice to meet you! My name is Tatsuya. I was born and raised in Osaka. I love traveling the world and communicating with all kinds of people. I also have a caring personality, so I would love to share the charms of Osaka, its people, and its food with people all over the world!
I provide sightseeing tours not only in Osaka but also in Kyoto and Nara. I offer transportation services for hotels, cruise ships, and airports as well!
Important
The tour runs from 9:00 AM to 6:00 PM or 10:00 PM to 7:00 PM, and I will guide you around Osaka's great spots or the area of your choice in my car. Since we are traveling by car, we will travel efficiently using the shortest route. People with disabilities or those who don't like walking are also welcome.

“Fun times in Osaka”
Tatsuya is one of the friendliest Japanese. He tried his best to show is Osaka. In complicated descriptions of historic events he would know where English descriptions are in the Osaka castle so we understood some of the finer details. He took us to a proper Japanese restaurant for lunch which had great food. One thing that's different in Japan is you also need to pay for your tour guides entry fees or tram ticket . As long as you know this then there isn't any surprises. He showed us many parts of Osaka in his nice air conditioned car which helped a lot when it was so hot outside. Saved us from lots of walking and sunstroke. The kids wanted to go to a cat cafe so he also took us there. We asked him if he would hang out for dinner with us and he did. Recommend Tatsuya for a cool tour of the city.

“A Thoughtful and Memorable Day in Kyoto with Tatsuya”
We had a wonderful day touring Kyoto from Osaka with Tatsuya as our guide and driver. He was very accommodating and flexible throughout the day, especially when we made several last-minute adjustments to our itinerary to fit in everything we hoped to see. One member of our group has mobility challenges, and we truly appreciated the extra care Tatsuya took to help make the experience smooth and comfortable for her. He arranged wheelchair assistance at locations that involved more walking and also coordinated an incredible rickshaw ride through the bamboo forest, which became one of the highlights of our entire trip to Japan. Tatsuya was consistently kind, patient, and helpful throughout the day, and it was clear that he genuinely wanted us to have a memorable experience. His thoughtfulness and willingness to help made a real difference, and we are very grateful for the special memories created during our time in Kyoto.
