5.00This is the BEST Osaka tour you can go on if you're looking for a fun guide and the BEST bang for your buck. This was my first time in Japan and it was a little overwhelming to see as much as I could. I am a hardcore anime and video game nerd and Masa knew exactly where to take me for the rarest of items. I got figurines that were made back in the 90's that you can't even find on Ebay!!! And my selections were better than Akihabara in Tokyo!!! It was a rainy day and Masa was sooooo fun and enjoyable to talk with depsite the weather. He had great recommendations for food and I loved all the little snack stops on the tour (gotta keep the energy up when shopping)!! was also able to buy some chef knives that I've been looking for too!! There's nothing like being able to travel like locals do and Masa knows all the best spots. If you tell him ahead of time what your interests are, he'll do his best to find some cool stuff for you. Will DEFINITELY RECOMMEND TO everyone traveling to Osaka
Great tour with a knowledgable local

5.00We traveled to Osaka with a couple of young Pokemon enthusiasts and Masa did a great job of being flexible and showing us the spots they would like. We especially liked the capsule toy forest, and the kids were so excited to pick up a few harder to find cards. Thank you Masa.
