Osaka Castle in Osaka, Kinkakuji Temple in Kyoto, and Todaiji Temple in Nara. This tour takes you to the symbols of these three cities!

The highlight of the trip will be seeing deer. Let's go on a super compact trip!

“Great Trip in Osaka”
Tatsuya was a wonderful guide. He took us to all locations and accommodated our shopping needs. He took us not only to historic sites but to find wasabi and chopsticks. He also arranged for a typical lunch that we really enjoyed. Great service. Thank you Tatsuya.

We were very happy with Tatsuya.M. Five stars isn’t enough. He takes his time - explains well and goes above and beyond to make the trip more comfortable. We were highly impressed by his kindness, politeness and dedication. We went to multiple places and we never felt rushed. Thanks to him we tried and enjoyed Osaka’s local food cuisine.

Nicolas I.
Hello, my name is Nicolas. I’m originally from Argentina and have been living in Japan for the past eight years, proudly calling Osaka my home. Being married to a Japanese wife has given me a strong personal connection to the culture and a deeper understanding of everyday life here, far beyond what most visitors get to see. Tourism has always been my passion and profession, and I have spent these years working in the tour industry, helping travelers discover Japan in a meaningful and enjoyable way. I love sharing not only the famous landmarks, but also the small details, stories, and local experiences that make this country so special. My goal is to make every tour feel relaxed, authentic, and memorable—like exploring Japan with a knowledgeable friend who truly loves living here. I look forward to welcoming you and showing you this amazing place I now call home.

Hi I'm Rina. Thank you for your interest, and welcome to Japan. I was born and raised in Osaka, and I’m truly excited to show you both the city’s famous landmarks and its hidden gems. Osaka is full of incredible food and fun places to explore. I enjoy guiding guests into Osaka’s hidden, local neighborhoods where you can taste unusual dishes and discover spots only locals know. I look forward to guiding you through an Osaka you’ll want to return to. Soy principiante y no hablo mucho español, pero me encanta recibir a huéspedes hispanohablantes.
