Oukini‼︎ I'm kansaijinn Thank you so much for checking my profile! Welcome to Osaka, the city of entertainment and gastronomy! Just call me Taku. I was born and raised in Osaka. This city is full of fun places and delicious gourmet food. Since my university days, I have interacted with and exchanged cultures with many international students. I lived in Poland for about half a year, where I experienced the cultural and dietary differences between Europe and Japan. I started working as a guide in April 2024, and it has now been about a year. Alongside guiding, I also work at a restaurant in Osaka known for its delicious dumplings. This branch of my restaurant, which has been recognized by Michelin, welcomes many customers every day. If you're interested, I recommend visiting after my tour—I’m sure you’ll love it! I became a guide because I want more foreigners to discover the charm of Japanese food and culture. As a Japanese native, nothing would make me happier than for you to fall in love with Japan. My goal is to inspire you to dream of living here! Above all, I sincerely hope you create wonderful memories during your limited time in Japan. Seeing my guests smile and enjoy my favorite food spots makes me happy from the bottom of my heart. I will welcome you with the utmost hospitality, always being friendly and polite. I love guiding everyone and take great pleasure in leading families with children. I also know some great spots for vegetarians! If you're interested, please feel free to send me a message anytime! Let’s explore the history of Osaka together and enjoy its incredible gourmet food. I always do my best to prepare the perfect tour for you to enjoy your visit to my home country. I recently obtained my national tour conductor license, and I continue to learn so I can provide a rich experience. If you ask a question I can’t answer right away, I’ll gladly look it up and provide you with a complete response. For food lovers, I can recommend places that cater to various dietary needs, including vegetarian, vegan, kosher, and halal. If you're traveling with parents or children, I can arrange a tour with shorter walking distances. I offer both walking tours and shore excursion tours, and all tours can be personalized or customized. Note: If you're inquiring about a tour for the following week, you must book in advance to secure a spot for both of us. After booking, we can exchange phone numbers.

Tacu was a great food guide! He asked what we wanted and designed the tour as we mentioned things we'd like to try. We had been in Japan for several days and already walked thousands of steps so he picked places to eat that were more sit down oriented then standing street food. Lots of excellent food!

You can not go wrong with selecting Taku-san for this tour. We were based at Northern part of Osaka, and he helped us to navigate our way to Nara for a half day tour to see the bowing deer and other important points of interest.

Touring Osaka seemed daunting for us at first, but our guide Takutomo made easy for us to see and taste what Osaka had to offer. His English was excellent and he was able to point out a lot of little known but interesting information to make our tour of Osaka complete.

November 2026Mike-san. Thank you so much for choosing me as the guide for you and your family 3-day trip across Osaka, Kyoto, and Nara. I was sorry I couldn't guide you and your wife in person, but I'm truly glad Dan-san and Judy-san had such a great time. Takutomo

Takutomo was our guide, and he was very knowledgeable and had an excellent command of English to help us understand and appreciate what Kyoto had to offer. Highly recommended!

November 2026Mike-san I'm so glad they enjoyed the tour in Kyoto as well! Even though it was a short time, I was happy to show them some of the famous sights and introduce them to local Kyoto food. Thank you for the wonderful review! Takutomo
