Tour guide in Osaka Brian M.

Welcome to Osaka and a wonderful region of Japan. Osaka is near Kyoto, the original capital of the country. The history of the two is intertwined through culture and food. In some ways trendy and in others traditional, the region offers many opportunities to learn, observe, and taste a wide variety of local cuisine. I have lived for over 20 years outside the USA, including time in Europe, Hong Kong, and now Japan. I am an opera singer and professor of music by profession, and I strive to make my tours both informative and fun. I can lead tours in English, German, Italian, and Spanish. Although I am based in Osaka, I can easily guide tours throughout the region, including Kyoto, Arashiyama, and Nara. I also offer several hiking tours into the foothills of Osaka in the Minoh Park area. Minoh and its surrounding temples provide a unique opportunity to enjoy Japan away from the crowds, taking in beautiful nature and local history. If you are an early riser, these hiking activities are perfect for you. For those who wish to experience Osaka in the evening, a food and destination tour can also be crafted. If you are looking for something tailored to your desires, we can put together a personalized tour that will satisfy your wishes.
