  • Fantastic tour with Kaz

    Brilliant tour with Kaz. The pacing of the tour was great - information from the meeting point all the way to the top of the tower. Enjoyed it being a small group. Plenty of opportunities to ask questions, which she happily answered. Kaz even took time out of her evening to research some more and get back to us later that day with further information. Would recommend, thank you 😊

  • Good tour of Osaka Castle

    We enjoyed the Osaka Castle Walking Tour especially the museum that showed the old original castle walls. That is something we would have missed if we went on our own. It was really nice that all the entry tickets were included so we didn't have to wait in line or figure out the ticket situation. Our tour guide was very friendly but we got the sense that English was a bit difficult for her. Her English was great when she was on script, but sometimes she didn't understand questions. She also spoke very quietly so it was difficult to hear if there was a lot of noise.

  • Awesome Tour on Osaka Castle

    Great tour super interesting and Kaz was such a great tour guide! It was great to walk around the castle grounds and stop at each place where she spoke more on the history of the castle. The tour ends inside the castle museum where you can explore at the end yourself.

  • A great tour with Kenta!

    We were spoiled and enjoyed our tour as a couple with our guide Miki all to ourselves. Considering the crowds at Osaka Castle we know this was most unusual. Miki is a local passionate about this remarkable castle's history and national significance. Definitely recommended.

  • Great experience and Kenta helped a lot
