I had a wonderful tour of Osaka with Kyoka as my guide. We had a small group of two but it was perfect allowing Kyoka to tell us all about the history and culture of the locations we visited. She also made sure I got to see locations in Osaka that I really wanted to see. I highly recommend using this company and especially Kyoka as she is friendly, knowledgeable, and professional.

It’s a great way to cover Osaka’s highlights in 4 hours. Our guide Shehab was very knowledgeable. You must love walking at a reasonable pace, as we did about 14-15 kilometres yesterday.
Buchi is a great guide!...

Buchi is a great guide! He told us about the culture, places to see, made recommendations for the special shops we wanted to go to and helped with translations (his English is so good). By the time the tour was done, he felt like a friend and we had a fun and interesting time. Thank you Buchi

Mayuka was so fun and knowledgeable! She took us to some really cool places and allowed us freedom to explore at our own pace. We got to see a great mixture of tourist hot spots and local spots that other tours would have likely missed. Highly recommended!

The tour was wonderful and informative. We had Victor and Gil who were both wonderful. Victor was especially caring and made sure we were comfortable and understood the train system and had great suggestions for where to take pictures. Gil is very personable and had great personal stories and perspectives to share as an American adapting to Japanese culture
