“Incredible guide!”
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.

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.

I lived in Seattle, WA US for several years to study public policy and urban planning at University of Washington and Washington State Department of Transportation . The US life has awakened me to realize its beauty and value of the Japanese nature and culture. After coming back from US, I have started my professional career of the infrastructure development in both developed and developing countries as a Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA) expert for more than 20 years. I have provided hospitality and honesty as a Japanese during my professional career. I can give you not only sightseeing tours but also technical tours with my expertise. I live in Osaka where an ancient capital city, Kyoto is located within a hour by train. I can show you how Japanese has developed the capital city with urban planning and infrastructure development. I look forward to seeing you here in Japan.
