Had a great time on the tour with Taku. He did a great job and showed us lots of great food and history of Osaka. We would book again.

We had limited time in Osaka so wanted to make the most of it. Our tour with Taku ticked all the boxes. So much better than a big group tour. We just hopped on the trains (expertly guided by Taku) to travel between the various destinations. The street food market was a particular favourite. We have already recommended Taku and City Unscripted to friends.

It was a great tour with Taku. He was informative on the places that we went to and he was adaptable with us going off the set plan of the tour. He took us to some of his favorite spots in the city.

Taku was a great guide that was very knowledgeable on all parts of the city from past to present. We really enjoyed his company this afternoon. He’s a really nice guy! An asset to the company!
