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!

“Osaka sighseeing with a local”
It was a cool and enjoyable tour, I had a lot of fun!! We moved across Osaka in a good air-conditioned car, so +41C heat was not a problem at all. Due to knowledge of shotcuts and best routes, we've managed to see all the key spots quickly and in comfort and not being impacted by the heat. Other highlights include visiting the best shopping spots on demand, having a delicious dinner in a local spot and visiting non-tourist places. Highly recommended!

Thank you so much as well. It was a fun day with you. We not only visited tourist spots, but we also talked about all sorts of things, and I enjoyed talking about denim. Let's meet again sometime, and let's go out for a delicious meal again.

“Amazing Kyoto”
This was the second day with Tatsuya just as good as the first. He is definitely into Japanese food and wanting you to experience it without being pushy. So we enjoyed great Japanese food. We had the best experience with the rickshaw, which we were thinking of not doing but Tatsuya did say that all his guests loved it. He was so right about that. It is amazing and the trip through the bamboo forest was a stand out of the day. The whole day was a great experience.

Thank you for another wonderful time today. I really would have liked to show you around more, but we were limited by your ferry schedule. I'm so glad you enjoyed the rickshaw ride and the Japanese food. I'll show you around even more next time!

“A beautiful city, with great culture and sights to see old and new. ”
Tatsuya is fantastic guide and wants make sure you see on your itinerary. Then add his own personal touch and information. We were hot and ready to call it a day, and Tatsuya would have been obliging to take us back to the ship but we knew that he wanted to show us everything in the city he is so proud of. So luckily for us we stuck with what he had planned. A great traditional Japanese restaurant and food the city lights from 300mtrs above street level and so much more. What a really great person he is. His car is comfortable and air conditioned which was a must in mid summer in Japan. Thank you so much Tatsuya, my Japanese is so much better now with your help.
