Yu gave a fantastic tour of Osaka Castle. She was very friendly and knowledgeable. We would never have known all the little details of the castle if we had walked through on our own. We truly appreciated her insight and sharing so much history, culture, and fun facts. I would highly recommend booking any tour with Yu.
The Castle is absolutely beautiful! We really enjoyed our guide Soichiro “Soy”! He has a great English that is easy to understand. He told us so much about history of Ōsaka and Osaka castle. In the castle, he had so many details at every step of our tour! He knew about every stone, every gate, every hole in the wall,…. We felt like we were in Edo period. 1,5 hours passed by very fast! He also knew many unique photo spots that other tourists were passing by without knowing. Wonderful guide! Highly recommend this tour! Great memories for the whole family!
