Hello there! I'm Loys, your friendly local host here in the vibrant heart of Osaka. I'm head over heels for Osaka's street food scene. There's something magical about the sizzle of takoyaki grills and the aroma of okonomiyaki wafting through the air. From savory yakitori skewers to the sweet embrace of taiyaki, I've explored it all. And trust me, I know all the hidden gems and local joints that serve these delectable treats. But Osaka isn't just about the food; it's a city that pulses with culture. Whether it's the ancient traditions or the modern creativity, I've immersed myself in it all. Markets and shopping? Osaka's got you covered, and I'll happily guide you through the bustling stalls of Kuromon Ichiba Market or the trendy boutiques in Shinsaibashi. So, let's embark on an unforgettable journey together and create memories in Osaka!

We had a lovely day out with Loys, who was knowledgeable and very interactive in not only giving information, but also in understanding what we wanted to see and do, even to the extent of tailoring the itinerary on the go as we went along. At the end of it, we had a fantastic day in Osaka, saw all that we expected to, and more, and enjoyed Loys' company too.

Loys was a wonderful guide and took us places only a local would know. It was nice to get off the tourist track and get to know the real Osaka.

He took us places we never would have seen on our own and gave us a lot of local color you cannot get from a guide book. What a great experience!
