We really enjoyed Osaka. So many different area vibes. Not as crowded as Tokyo was but definitely a busy city. Our guide Keiko was very personable.
Thank you for your wonderful review of Osaka, and our guide Keiko. Glad you enjoyed Osaka, and all of its variety.
Our guide Hiromi was great. She took us to Osaka castle, then from there we went to a place that specializes in stall foods all in one area, so that is where we decided to eat lunch tapas style, stall to stall. Other hot spots that kept our teens entertained. Osaka is quite large and busy. We recommend a guide for a city like this.
Thank you for our 5-star review. Osaka is definitely one of the foodie hot sports of Japan. We are glad you and your family enjoyed Osaka.
We used the same guide from our trip to Kyoto to show us around Osaka. We can never say enough how relieved we were not to have to get lost in "busy" Osaka. Osaka had a completely different atmosphere from that of Kyoto. There are a huge number of shops for shopping and eating. We had the opportunity to see people dressed in a very original way. They were very friendly and allowed us to take their picture.
Thank you for our 5-star review. We are glad you really enjoyed and trusted our city guide (Osaka host), that you booked with us a second time.
Osaka was a very vibrant city. Our guide was great, and showed us the must try street foods that Osaka is well known for. We went to the crowded areas around the Dotonbori river, and local side streets that locals travelled on. Definitely see Osaka if you can!
Thank you for your review. That is wonderful that you really absorbed the energy of Osaka and enjoyed it. Thank you for having trusted us with your Osaka plans.
It was a perfect mix for all the different ages in our group. It was a little more walking than expected because we didn’t realize how spread out Osaka was, but it was definitely worth it. Kuromon market was our favorite because we are foodies.
Thank you for your review. Kuromon market is a great place to try many different types of food, and it was a good thing you experienced it since your group are foodies.
Definitely glad we had a guide, otherwise definitely would have gotten lost…haha. We wanted some off the beaten path locations and she delivered. We went to a local neighborhood that felt vintage, ate home style tapas portions, and did a sake tasting. Our guide also took us to the popular Dotonbori, and although touristy, the hustle and bustle was unique to where we are from in the United States. Reliable communication from City Panorama, I highly recommend them.
We are glad you really enjoyed yourself and got the experience you were looking for. Thank you for this lovely review.
