Informative and Exciting - Kanji was a very informative tour guide. He give thorough explanations of the areas and you can tell he is passionate and takes pride in what he does. He took me around various shops and gave all sorts of recommendations from restaurants to grocery stores and other types of businesses in the area. I highly recommend Kanji for tours throughout the Kansas area.

Fun & informative exploration of Osaka with fabulous guide! - As a solo traveler visiting Osaka for the first time, this tour was exactly what I wanted and needed. Ryosuke was the best guide - funny, patient, knowledgeable & a great photographer to boot!
It was great spending the day seeing a few of the main highlights of the city that I hadn’t found on my own. Thank you, Ryosuke!

Osaka walking tour - This is a nice tour of Osaka to see the highlights and get a good over view of the city. My guide, Rio, was extremely nice and spoke excellent English. She could not have been nicer or more welcoming. Food stop included in the tour was interesting as well. I definitely recommend this half day tour.

The Raw Reality of How Japan ACTUALLY is Tour - My guide was VERY passionate and knowledgeable about Japan. He mentioned not only the fun tourist side, but also the real darker side of Japan (that all countries have) that most are oblivious to.
I appreciate the honesty and full tour highlighting ALL aspects of Japan. While most other tours just glorify Japan, this one appreciates Japan as well as shares a UNIQUE angle in its tour which I think is CRUCIAL to understanding Japan as a whole. The tour route correlated with the information spoken by the tour guide; such as ‘Hikiomori’, and the homeless district. Overall, this was the best most unique & intriguing tour I had in Japan.
