I’ve lived in Osaka for 62 years
I speak English and some Spanish, Italian
I am Photographer
I am a woman who has lived in Osaka since birth. In Osaka, there are many delicious foods, and you can enjoy a variety of foods from reasonable to high-end ones. Osaka is a place where you can enjoy both old shrines and temples and modern buildings. Kyoto is also close by, as are Kobe, Wakayama, and Ise. I have guided many people not only from Japan but also from abroad. I can also teach you aikido sword kata, calligraphy and tea ceremony, and other Japanese cultures. I would like you to know many wonderful things about Japan. Let's go together to cafes and stores and beautiful places full of nature where locals go. And I can take your pictures with sceneries if you like because I am a professional photographer.
Hello! My husband and I enjoyed our time with Miki in Osaka. She met us at the cruise ship and we started our day riding the subway to the Osaka station and visited the castle. We did a lot of walking that day and the day flew by. Miki is very responsive ahead of the tour, she’s extremely personable & provided us with a nice overview of Osaka, where she has lived her entire life. We got hungry so Miki took us to the Dotonburi area where we found a great place to eat. The rest of our time was spent having lunch and then Miki took us to the correct train and stayed with us until ours came. We didn’t get to see much but that was probably mostly our fault because we chose to walk our way to the castle instead of catching the little train and the walk took up a lot of our time. Something to note - be sure to bring enough money to pay for Miki’s transportation expense over the course of the day. I was not aware that we had to do that because I didn’t see it noted on the tour description. I didn’t mind - it was less than 1,000¥ - and I was glad I had the cash with me. Just sharing so you know in advance! We recommend and think you will enjoy your time with Miki!

Our guide, Miki, is from Osaka where our tour was. She showed us some areas and shared what she loves about her city. She makes friends wherever she goes. We felt like we were connected to the people and the sites we seen. Thank you for a great day.

We had a number of things we wanted to see and do in Kyoto and Miki tried to take us to as many as we could manage in the time we had. She was a joy to spend time with and we had a fantastic day together.
