Hi, I’m Maria! Osaka is my home, and I’m passionate about sharing its best-kept secrets with visitors. From the bustling streets to the hidden corners, I know all the spots where you can truly experience the city’s spirit. What I love most about Osaka is its street food and local specialties. Whether it's trying unique desserts or exploring food markets, I’m always on the lookout for delicious and unusual finds—especially vegetarian options! I’m familiar with all the vibrant neighborhoods like Dotonbori, Namba, and Umeda, and I can’t wait to show you the best places to shop, eat, and drink. Let’s discover the Osaka I know and love together!

My reviews

    We took a private tour with Maria and we loved every second. She showed us some wonderful spots of the beaten track. Instead of telling just facts about the city, she made us part of the local Osaka life. Definitely recommend.

    Maria took us to places that we never thought we would see. Few are local hang out. She gave us time to explore places, no rush. Took a break when needed. We really enjoy time with her. Friendly and outgoing. This is our second time in Japan, much better than the first. Will recommend her to friends who plan to visit Osaka. Thank you so much for chosen Maria for us.
