    We had a wonderful day in Osaka with our guide Hiromi. It was a busy day since we wanted to visit several places, but thanks to Hiromi, everything went smoothly. We explored Dotonbori, enjoyed some delicious takoyaki for lunch, and did a bit of shopping along the lively streets. We saw so much and learned a lot

    The tour was very enjoyable, and Sozuki did a great job giving us a solid introduction to the city, especially Osaka castle, and its main sights. He shared useful tips that helped us with the rest of our stay as well. We did have to wait in a long line for lunch, which we didn’t enjoy very much, although the sushi itself was good. Overall, it was a great day and Sozuki was a very capable and helpful guide.

    The itinerary with Noriko was perfectly tailored to our wishes. We visited the Osaka Castle, Dotonbori, Shinsekai, and the Umeda Sky Building all at a relaxed pace and away from the biggest crowds as we had requested. Noriko was extremely knowledgeable and answered all of our questions, from detailed local insights to broader aspects of Japan’s culture and history. We even got a coffee break when we asked for one -very important! Her guiding was very personal and attentive throughout the day.

    We had an incredible day in Osaka with Fukuda as our guide. We started at Osaka Castle, exploring the grounds and learning about its history, then headed to the Umeda Sky Building, where Fukuda had already arranged our tickets to avoid the lines. For lunch, we stopped at a local okonomiyaki restaurant, which was absolutely delicious. Though she is slow speaker, her English was easy to understand.

    We wanted to really show our family what Osaka has to offer, and Moto personalized the tour to our interests perfectly. We omitted Osaka castle, so he took us to amazing spots like Dotonbori, Shinsaibashi, and the Umeda Sky Building, weaving in fascinating local history and insights along the way. We ended the day with a stroll through Namba and great recommendations for dinner. Thank you, Moto, for helping us experience the best of Osaka

    Osaka is the city my kids liked the most, and Sakumoto, who was an outstanding guide, made the tour perfect for our family. She is an extensive expertise in history and art, spoke English very very well, and spoke loudly with a sense of humor for kids. She tailored the pace of our tour when my daughter grew tired, together we started our day visiting Osaka Castle, and then headed to Dotonbori where we spent the rest of our day. Thank you Sakumoto.

    Andy was an excellent host who made our Osaka visit seamless. He arranged a private car and met us directly at our hotel in Umeda, wisely recommending an 8 a.m. start that helped us make the most of our day. His deep knowledge of Osaka history and local food impressed us, and he kept the tour very informative. We enjoyed highlights such as Osaka Castle and the lively streets of Dotonbori, Delicious food throughout the day added a wonderful extra layer to the experience.
