Fumiko did a really great job showing us some really fun highlights of Osaka for our first few hours in the city! We told her we really like off the beaten path places and good food and she definitely delivered! We snacked all afternoon and she showed us some amazing markets that we can’t wait to explore in depth! She also showed us some very unique local places and a beautiful small temple. Thank you Fumiko for taking such good care of us!

Fumiko was absolutely amazing, and really listened to our interests. She showed us several places that we did go back to, or would have gone back to if we had time! She was also very communicative and informative, and had so much patience for our many random questions. Fumiko really made the experience special and very tailored to us, which we very much appreciated. My husband and I had a wonderful time with a lot of joyful conversation, and highly recommend Fumiko if anyone wants to find the hidden gems of Osaka!

We enjoyed our private tour of Osaka. Max was very knowledgeable and personable. He contacted me by email and we decided what sites to see. Prior to meet up I texted him on What’s App to get directions to our met up location. He showed us around the various markets and temples. We stopped to snack on takiyaki and matcha pancakes. We took a taxi to the Osaka Castle. We enjoyed the history and cultural lessons. Walked up to the 8th floor observation area. Then took a JR train to Osaka Umeda station, took escalators to top floor to view panoramic Osaka. He then walked us to our hotel! Max was an excellent host and we enjoyed his knowledge of the city.
