My name is Zoher, but everyone calls me Zo. I’ve been living in Japan for over 31 years and guiding English-speaking visitors around Kansai for more than 20 years. I specialize in private, relaxed tours for cruise guests and travelers who value comfort, smooth pacing, and flexibility. Whether visiting Kyoto, Nara, Osaka, Kobe, or Himeji, each tour is tailored to your interests, energy level, and schedule—never rushed and never “one size fits all.” Some guests enjoy history and culture, others prefer scenic walks, hidden spots, or excellent local cuisine—most appreciate a thoughtful balance. As a multilingual guide with strong cross-cultural experience, I help you feel comfortable and confident while discovering Japan. Many guests say the day feels less like a tour and more like spending time with a knowledgeable local friend. That’s exactly the experience I aim to provide. I would be delighted to help you enjoy Kansai in a refined, relaxed, and memorable way. Important Information: I can accompany you inside historical monuments; however, I am not a nationally licensed guide. Tours are not covered by insurance.

Welcome to Osaka, Japan’s Kitchen! Let’s explore Osaka together through its incredible food scene! Starting from your hotel, cruise terminal, or central Namba, I’ll guide you through the vibrant streets of Dotonbori and beyond. We’ll taste local favorites like okonomiyaki and kushikatsu, explore the famous Kuromon Market, stroll through Ebisu-suji Shopping Arcade, and finish in a beautiful Japanese department store food hall (depachika). This tour is relaxed, fun, and fully customizable, perfect for food lovers who want to experience Osaka like a local.
Zo's tour was perfect for my university students and me! I know it can be difficult to set up a food tour for a larger group. Zo set a relaxed pace and showed us many little insider moments in Osaka. We appreciated Zo's spontaneous generosity and the extra treats. My students had so much fun, thanks to Zo's cheerful personality! Thank you so much for the tour!
If I could give Zoher 6 stars, I would. He was wonderful - kind, patient (he took 9 ladies shopping!), knowledgeable, and so much fun!
Zoher was a true professional in every way. We walked, we ate, we laughed, on repeat, and it was a great experience - his knowledge of the Osaka food scene is extensive. I could not have wished for a better guide in every way. He was accommodating & a true gentleman. Thank you Zoher!
Great tour of the amazing Osaka street food and shopping districts. Highly recommend!
Es war eine wirklich tolle Tour Zohr kennt sich wirklich super in der lokalen Food scene aus und hatte tolle Tips er ist super professionell und freut sich über jede weitere Empfehlung die er zusätzlich noch geben darf. Ich kann Ihn nur weiter empfehlen.
We had a great day with Zoher exploring Osaka's incredible food scene. It really helps to have someone knowledgeable to help curate the almost endless amount of food stalls and restaurants. Zoher is passionate about food and his recommendations were spot on! It was a very full day walking through the busy market and also some cool neighborhoods we would have never found by ourselves. Strongly recommend the food tour with Zoher.
