My passion for travel began in 2015, when I traveled the world to change my life. I visited about 20 countries and met many wonderful people along the way. After returning to Japan, I became a tour guide so I could keep meeting people from all over the world. With about 10 years of guiding experience, I share deep local insight on every tour. I live in the neighborhood, so I know Osaka’s hidden alleys, backstreets, and real local spots most visitors miss. My close relationships with shopkeepers and residents help create personal experiences that feel truly local. I tailor each tour to your interests, listen carefully, and adjust the plan, so you see what excites you most. Guests often describe my style as friendly and flexible, with relaxed conversations along the way. I share history in a clear, interesting way and add humor when it fits. Many guests say my tour helped them discover hidden gems they later returned to—and made their time in Osaka truly special.

We’ll use Osaka’s subway to get around, typically 4–5 rides during the day. To save time and money, I recommend a one-day subway pass, which I’ll help you purchase at the start of the tour.
