Born and bred in Osaka, the western center of Japan, I am honored to introduce you to this energetic, friendly city. I have traveled extensively around the globe, and I think one of the greatest pleasures of traveling is meeting new people who have different lifestyles and thinking.

FOUR TOURS OFFERED 1. "Gems of Kyoto - Full Day Tour" 2. "Private Full Day Osaka Tour" 3. "Walking through the Old and the New Osaka in 6 hours" 4. "The Definitive Two Day Tour of Kyoto and Osaka with your very own private guide" I can also customize tours to Osaka, Kyoto, Nara or/and Kobe.

    Ichi was great! He customized the tour based on our interests. My husband wanted to go to the Samurai Jean store which was off the beaten path. Ichi visited the store beforehand to make sure it was the right place. After the tour he sent us messages to give us suggestions for the next few days of travel in Kyoto.
