Welcome to Osaka! Osaka is my home and a city full of energy, history, and incredible food. It offers a perfect balance of tradition and modern life, making it a wonderful destination for travelers of all ages and interests. I have been living in Japan for over 10 years and have built my life here with my small Japanese family. Living in Japan as an international resident allows me to naturally bridge cultures. I understand both the local mindset and the questions visitors often have, which helps me explain Japanese culture, customs, and daily life in a clear, open, and relatable way—without barriers. I am passionate about sharing Osaka beyond the guidebooks. With deep knowledge of the city’s history, neighborhoods, and attractions, I bring each tour to life through storytelling, local insights, and practical tips. I enjoy connecting with people from all over the world and creating a relaxed, friendly atmosphere where guests feel comfortable asking questions and exploring at their own pace. I am reliable, punctual, and professional, always prepared and attentive to my guests’ needs. My goal is to provide an informative, enjoyable, and memorable experience while helping you experience Japan like a local. All of my tours can be customized to match your interests, schedule, and travel style—just let me know what you’re looking for. Qualifications Bachelor’s degree in Business and Marketing JLPT N1 (Native-level Japanese proficiency) I have no restrictions on my tours and look forward to welcoming you to Osaka.

    We had an excellent day with Kalid. He was incredibly friendly and accommodating. My family of 6 was able to taste in see so many of the things that makes Osaka great. I especially appreciated that he delivered us to our dinner reservation at the end of our tour. It was a great first day in Japan!

    What a fantastic tour! Khallid was an exceptional guide — friendly, knowledgeable, and passionate about Osaka, its culture, and especially its food scene. His English was excellent, and he shared a tremendous amount of interesting insight about the city, local neighborhoods, and the history behind many of the dishes we tried. My wife has several dietary restrictions, and...

    Our evening in Osaka with Khalid through Tours By Locals was equal parts cultural tour and elite competitive eating event (we happily lost). We kicked things off in Dotonbori, where Khalid led us straight to what might be the best takoyaki on planet Earth. I’m still emotionally attached to those octopus balls and may never recover. Between bites, Khalid sprinkled in fun...
