Tour undertaken on Wednesday 14th October as a married couple: M32 and F32.
Ko was a fantastic guide, giving a city wide tour on good quality e-bikes, hitting all of the main points of interest from both a tourist perspective but also from a local perspective.
We learned about the history of Osaka and broader Japan, covering topics such as but not limited to:
Osaka’s importance pre and post 1600’s.
Japan isolationism and the Meiji restoration.
Osaka architecure.
Local hotspots.
Individual neighbourhood characteristics.
Japanese Shintoism.
Japanese Buddhism.
The tour was structured perfectly, with a lot of ground covered but we were never rushed. Above all, the tour was conducted in an extremely safe manner and is a 10/10 would recommend.
Thank you Ko!

Fun ride through Osaka
Ko was our guide, he knows Osaka inside and out. We went from one side of the city to the other side getting a good overview of the neighborhoods and sites. The bikes were very good and Ko was an excellent leader.

Excellent way to see the whole city
Ko our guide was very knowledgeable and the ride was easy as there are no steep hills to manage. We saw so many places and learned about the history and what it is, that makes each neighborhood memorable. This was the perfect way to see the whole city and spend the day. We went tothe castle, the financial district, American neighborhood, a few parks, etc.. you see the whole city it’s really a great time and an excellent value. We highly recommend plus it’s fun to get out on a bike and ride around.

Ko!
Ko was a great guide all around Osaka. The largest bikes were a bit short for 6’-3”, but it was all good. We saw loads of great sites, did some good riding, and Ko was terrific in keeping us informed about what we are seeing.

Osaka Tour on a beautiful day with fun people!
We caught beautiful sunny weather with the tour starting very warm and then becoming perfect temperature toward the end.
Kosuke is an excellent guide. He lived in California in the past. He was able to explain the construction of Osaka Castle by Nobunaga, his subsequent assassination, and ultimate takeover by Tokugawa 150 years later. ILater, he explained how Admiral Perry's arrival around 1850 helped spur the Meiji Restoration, opening Japan to the West. In addition to distinguishing Shintoism and Buddhism that every tour offers, he provided details not only about the historic significance of each stop, but also about restaurants, bars, and attractions that we could come back and enjoy near that stop.
The bikes were in good condition and there was only 1 or 2 mild uphill moves. My tour group were all wonderful Americans so I had a great time!

Book This Bike Tour First
What a great introduction to the city of Osaka. We covered a lot of territory during our three and a half hours and learned a lot about the city. This makes a good first activity as you arrive and want to get oriented.
