Hi, I'm Lay. I would describe myself as an optimistic, easy-going person who loves trying out new things! After my studies, I came to Japan in late 2014. I fell in love with the history and culture almost immediately. Osaka is definitely the place to be because of the unbelievable architecture, friendly locals and delicious food! It's the perfect combination of authentic and modern. In my free time, I enjoy roaming the streets of the city and getting lost in the hundreds of side alleys. Let me show you why I live and love it here. Every day is like a mini-adventure.

We had a lovely tour with Lay, who knew the area well and provided great recommendations of food and restaurants for our tour. It was interesting to hear about her experience as an ex-pat in Japan and her integration into the culture.

We had Lay as our tour guide for 4 hours. She spoke English and made our tour so much easier. We customized our sites based on what we wanted to see with her recommendations. We went to Osaka castle, seafood street market, and shopping district. We were able to ask her several questions on history sites including local living and how to get around in general . She was very helpful and even gave us a tip on how to easily get to the airport.

Lay took us to multiple places in Osaka and incorporated our love of food and culture, while telling us some great information about Osaka’s history. She was totally accommodating to our needs and interests. We had such a fun day and Lay is such a warm and easy person to be with.
