Osaka Uncovered: A Journey Through Flavor, Beauty & Tradition

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.
