Osaka, which has a 1,500-year history as the "water capital," was the center of Japan between the 16th and 19th centuries. Osaka was also the home of Hideyoshi Toyotomi, the father of the modern Japanese unification. You’ll get to visit his castle, the Osaka Castle, and learn why even today Osaka has a great appeal and is still known domestically as the nation’s kitchen. While Tokyo may be the biggest city in Japan, Osaka has always flourished as a center of the Japanese economy. Today’s visitors to Japan, in addition to exploring Tokyo and Kyoto, should not pass up the opportunity to explore the bustling metropolis of Osaka!

We spent a fantastic day with Yuki including Osaka Castle, lunch in the Kuromon Markets and a wander through Dotonbori. Yuki was incredibly knowledgeable on current and ancient Japanese history as well as being an extremely friendly and engaging host. We had a great time sharing stories over lunch and will remember our day with Yuki as one of our highlights while in Japan.

With our English speaking guide Yuki, we visited Osaka Castle, a city market and downtown. Yuko explained the history and cultural aspects of each place and took us to fascinating old - world alleys of Osaka. We can recommend this tour to visitors who would like an overview of Osaka.

After our Japan cruise we decided to go to Osaka and Kyoto. We were escorted by Sachiyo Oguchi as our guide, interpretor and advisor. She was amazing as she was able to negotiate lifts to avoid stairs for our tired legs etc. We saved am immense amount of time by having Sachy take us on the various trains which would have taken a lot of time and stress for me to do so otherwise. I can say thank you, Sachy, for your excellent guidance and understanding of my wife's requirements. You are highly recommended by me as the days touring Osaka and Kyoto were stress free owing to having your guidance. Sachy also took many photos of us at various locations and that was a nice and unexpected touch. A great experience of Osaka and Kyoto.

We did two tours with a lovely guide Sach.
One in Osaka and another in Kyoto we had a great time and certainly saw some of the best highlights in both cities.
You can relax and take in the best highlights and not worry about using transport and navigating your way around.
She was very knowledgeable and I would definately recommend doing a tour with her.

This was our second tour with Sachi, she is such a wonderful tour guide. Sachi adjusted the schedule so we could see more of Osaka! Sachi also takes fantastic photos along the way and shares these with us after the tour so we have some lovely memories to look back on. We would absolutely recommend this tour (especially Sachi!!) thank you!

Akari was very welcoming & knowledgeable about Osaka. She showed as parts of the city that we otherwise would have missed.
