Great Tour Experience of Osaka from Kyoto.

This was a great experience touring Osaka with Akihiro. He kept in touch with us and made sure that we were on the same page. Outlined the places we will visit in Osaka. He was very prompt on the day of the tour. In fact he arrived earlier than the planned time and waited for us. His knowledge and information about Osaka was exceptional. We first visited the Osaka Castle. We got there early when the gates were opened so we got to do our tour way before the crowds showed up. Great view of the city from the castle. Cherry Blossom was at their peak so that was extra special. We got to take great photos and Akihiro came in handy to take photos for us. We then visited the Umeda Skyline and got very good view of Osaka from there. Weather was clear so the view of the city was incredible. Finally he took us to the Dotombori Market, gave us the history and tour of the area. He encouraged us to get some food and we ended up eating a delicious Takoyaki meal. Very memorable tour of Osaka.
