We had an amazing private tour guided by your wonderful staff Kaori. She is very accommodating and very helpful. She gave us all the information we needed to know about all the significant places and she’s got the knowledge about the history of all the places we went to.
I will definitely recommend her to other people who want to do the same tour we did. I also if we ever we come back here again in Osaka we would like to request her again as our private tour guide
Kaori thank you so much spending the day with us and very well done on your first day as a tour guide. Very well done!👍🏼

Two Extraordinary Tour Guides!!!!!!
We had an absolutely exceptional Castle and Food Tour with Kumiko and Kaori yesterday!!! They picked us up at out hotel and from the moment we started we instantly connected. Very fun, very personable. Kaori lived in Arizona for a time, Kumiko has a son who lived in the US for years and she has been many times. They were very easy to chat with and ask questions. Very casual and not buttoned up like we have experienced a lot in Japan. Not only did we learn a lot and do everything the tour said… learn some history, eat extraordinary food etc., which we expected…. The unexpected things came in when at the deliiiiiiicious sushi place, we casually asked Kaori how she made her pretty chopstick stand out of chopstick paper, not only did she do that, she also made a teeny paper crane for me (it’s my birthday) also out of the tiny square of chopstick paper. 🥹 That was the first time my friend and I teared up. The second time was when I asked Kumiko where we could go to buy a good japanese chef’s knife. She took us to a very reasonably-priced shop that not only had beautiful knives, but also engrave your name on it!!! Kumiko and Kaori went through all of the ways “Catherine” can look (and mean) in Kanji, and they picked characters for my name that meant “blooming in all its splendor, standing poised with inner strength”. I had those characters etched on the knife and it will have a profound impact on me everything I pick up that knife every day. I will think of these two extraordinary women, and the memorable time my husband and our friends shared with them. If I could give more stars than five, I would. We exchanged information and when we are back to Japan or we hear of friends making trips, we intend to recommend them highly. Thank you both for an extraordinary day. We will NEVER forget you!! ❤️❤️

Thank you so much for your incredibly heartfelt review. Your kind words truly touched both Kaori and me.
We had such a wonderful time with you, your husband, and your friends. The origami crane, the personalized knife, and choosing the special kanji for your name were unforgettable moments for us as well.
We hope the knife will always remind you of your wonderful time in Osaka and of your own radiance and inner strength.
Thank you for such a special and memorable day. We will never forget you either and sincerely hope to see you again in Japan someday!
With love and gratitude,

Best guides ever!
Kumiko and Kaori were outstanding hosts and guides. Punctual, knowledgeable, enthusiastic, energetic, and most all galactically pleasant! The tour was tailored to our specific interests and was efficient and fun. We had four adults and one 12 year-old in our group, and they did a great job accommodating everyone's questions and needs. The best part for us was getting to know these two amazing women and hearing about their families and interests. There aren't enough stars to give these two.

Thank you again for such a joyful and memorable day. We hope to welcome you back to Japan in the future!

Amazing food and Osaka Castle tour with Kumiko
Kumiko and Kaori were the best tour guides you can ask for. We spent an entire day touring Osaka from Osaka Castle to the food vendors downtown. They thought of everything including frozen towels in the 34 C heat. We had our food prepared on the street or at specific vendors. The sushi and sashimi were beyond spectacular. I would never have had this much fun without our
guides. They helped us with shopping for cutlery and yukata which was an amazing bonus. Thank you Kumiko and Kaori.

It was truly our pleasure to help make your day comfortable and enjoyable.
Thank you for the fun and unforgettable day. We hope your purchases will always bring back happy memories of Osaka!

Jet Lagged on Day One, Confident by Day Two
Mie was absolutely incredible. We booked this tour for our first full day in Osaka after a long flight and honestly had no idea how much we needed it.
She picked us up at the hotel, spent six hours showing us the city, and then walked us back at the end even though she didn’t have to. She helped us get comfortable with the trains and understand how the city is laid out, which paid dividends for the rest of our trip on days when we were on our own.
Osaka Castle and the park were beautiful and her knowledge made it so much richer than just walking around and reading plaques. But honestly what stood out most was everything outside the “official” tour. She talked to us first to get a feel for what we liked, and then took us to restaurants we never would have walked into on our own. Not tourist spots either. Places where it felt like she genuinely had the insider scoop. Every meal was a hit.
Shopping was the same way. We told her we wanted a Japanese kitchen knife and she took us straight to the right area and got the conversation going with the right people. She also helped us track down something as small as a coin organizer, going store to store with us until we found it. No impatience, just happy to help.
Here’s the thing that might not be in the tour description but is maybe the most valuable part: if you’re at all intimidated by the language barrier or just not knowing how things work in Japan, Mie will fix that. By the end of the day we felt genuinely confident going into restaurants on our own, navigating the city, all of it. She doesn’t just show you Osaka, she sets you up to actually enjoy it after she’s gone.
One of the best decisions we made the whole trip. Book her.

Our tour guide Mie provided an exceptional experience during our time in Osaka. Her passion, kindness, flexibility, and local insight truly elevated our visit. We loved every moment, from exploring Osaka Castle, the crowds in Dotonburi, indulging in some serious shopping, and ending the evening with delicious Korean barbecue and Rikuro cheesecake.
