Great guide and tour of Osaka Castle grounds and all the best areas of Osaka! - We had a wonderful time! Especially loved the secret Cherry Blossom near Osaka Castle. 🌸 Favourite tree of my holiday! The inside knowledge of our guide was wonderful with little laneways and fortune spots. The lunch was so good too! Enjoyed picking our own dish from the menu. You won’t regret booking this tour. As it’s a walking tour you see lots!

Very nice guide and tour for famous spots and hidden places - It was an awesome tour with Yusuke. He explained very interesting things about the history of the Osaka castle where wthe tour started. We walked through the most famous spots in Osaka and he also showed me awesome hidden places. And he gave me some recommendations for my evening in Osaka and my further trip.

Fantastic family walking tour with tasty food, great family photo ops and interesting historical insights! - What a fantastic day! Ryo and Aya took us on a wonderful walking tour of Osaka. They took great family pictures at all of the best spots and shared local knowledge of the area and sights. We took the subways a few times to hop from spot to spot. We really enjoyed the lunch and strolling through the markets. They answered all of our burning questions on Osaka and Japanese culture overall. Highly recommend!!!

Great guides - While Osaka has limited things to see that are old historical (city destroyed in WWII) our guides showed d us the main attractions. They were excellent and very accommodating to adjust on the go. If you’re in Osaka and want to see what’s there take this tour.

Friendliest tour in Osaka - Had a great time on this tour. Akari was very friendly and knowledgeable. Learned quite alot about the local history, customs, and traditions. Our little group felt more like a bunch of friends strolling through the city rather then your usual tour of here is point A, look and see, etc.

Interesting early morning tour. - Fabulous tour with our guide Yusuke who took us around Osaka Castle, the New world area and the fish market area. We sampled the traditional Osaka dish Takoyaki which is octopus. Do not eat to much as there is plenty to try in the fish market. Yusuke took his time to explain the history of the castle which was helpful.

Wonderful private tour! - Taira and his trainee were both exceptional guides and wonderful people. They made the tour feel very casual and I enjoyed all the Osaka history they shared. My favorite part was that he tailored the 2nd half of the tour based on my interests of what I’d like to see while in Osaka. I was able to visit the main places on my list which saved me time from having to go to them later on my own. I would recommend getting him to show you around Osaka and anywhere else.

Fun in Osaka - Ryosuke was the epitome of the perfect tour guide! Fun, friendly, honest, knowledgeable, and engaging! Would take his tour anywhere! It was just my sister and I, we had him all to ourselves! We got to ask so many questions only a Japanese countryman would know. We learned so much about Osaka history and got to see so many places. 12/10 would recommend! He is about to finish up his college degree so we were super lucky we were one of his last groups.
