This service provides from the very Osaka local taxi company. So it’s reliable, safe and comfortable. I will 100% guarantee that. When I was a kid, my mother brought me to wherever she went with a brand new Toyota. I still remember the smell of it and I was excited to be with Mom. I didn’t know where I go much, it could be a grocery store or my nursery school but it didn’t matter. I was happy with her. Except one thing. It was a little bump, an impact every times the car stopped for the traffic lights. I didn’t like that. Since then I started thinking “I won’t drive like that…”. Can you imagine that 4 or 5 years old driver thinking about how to drive in the future. And now I am a pro driver here. I won’t let that happens to you. I’m concentrate on smooth driving as if you are at home. Again it’s safe, relaxed and calm. I will take you to the Airport with my precious memory. I mean YOUR precious memory in Osaka.

Try the unique experience of cooking real Japanese cuisine with an experienced chef. An opportunity to learn how to cook takoyaki in Osaka style! Takoyaki is a very popular dish in Japan, a ball-shaped Japanese snack made of a wheat flour-based batter and cooked in a special molded pan. “Tako” means octopus and “Yaki “grilled. Takoyaki was first popularized in Osaka, where a street vendor named Tomekichi Endo is credited with its invention in 1935. But since its invention, several regional specialties have developed, and more generally, everyone cooks takoyaki the way they like it. Instead of octopus, meat can be used, or cheese can be added, and so on. The classic takoyaki loved by the Japanese remains the one with octopus. Once you've finished your takiyaki, you can enjoy what you've cooked and take photos!

We are glad to have a chance that you peruse our plan. Here, in Japan, it is very difficult to take a free van type and mini bus type vehicle at the last moment. You might wait for 2 hours in busy time until you get it. Because sedan type taxi can accommodate 3 guests plus 2-3 suitcases at most. Booking appropriate vehicle in advance is must-to-do first. Lastly, Here in Japan, we are formal transfer company managing licensed vehicles. But in some cases, there are groups that dispatches unlicensed cars illegally. If you book these cars, you might get involved in big troubles. We assure you of comfortable transfer.

What are people saying about Osaka

Imtiaz_S, Jun 2026

Well organized. Excellent...

Well organized. Excellent English speaking guide who gave us great information on all the sights we visited. Kyoshi our guide even sang for us at the end of the trip which made it fun. The memorial museum was a sad and solemn part of the tour. All the entrance tickets I.e the subway ride, Bullet train ferry, museum etc were all included in this package. I would highly recommend it if you're willing to spend the extra..

Fun walking food tour

Loved trying the different foods and learning about the types of restaurants/bars. If it wasn’t for the tour I wouldn’t have tried alot of those dishes. Sara our guide was terrific. It rained the entire excursion but that didn’t stop us, also all the eateries were under roof and covered walk ways. If your picky eater probably not for you- luckily I like everything 😁

Nara Early Morning Tour (Kyoto or Osaka Departure Available)

Hikmat_G, Jun 2026

Exceptional tour before the tourists’ rush

I had a blast with Daiki on this tour. He’s passionate and knowledgeable and very attentive. I highly recommend an early morning visit to beat the rush hour that tends to be overwhelming. If you don’t have all day, that’s the right balance to see everything and experience Nara without rushing through it.

Outstanding night at the Shinsekai

This was a great tour of the Shinsekai area, and an amazing variety of delicacies throughout the various stops! Anna, our tour guide, eased us in for introductions and then kept the energy high all night. Definitely one of the most memorable moments of my Japan trip. This was an easygoing, but very very enjoyable experience. I would recommend giving it a shot!

A great way to spend our first night in Osaka! I went with my family (we're all adults), and we had a blast. Our guide Taka was extremely funny and good to be around. He showed us some tourist hubs in the area, but most of the tour focused on the smaller, hidden gems of the different areas and some of the nightlife. We got great recommendations and ideas for the rest of our trip. Would definitely recommend.

We had a wonderful day exploring Kyoto with Yoshi. We were able to see so much in a single day and visit several of the city's most iconic sights. Yoshi was friendly, professional, and made the day easy and enjoyable. Having transportation arranged for us allowed us to make the most of our time, and we definitely would not have been able to cover as much ground on our own. If you're looking for a convenient way to see many of Kyoto's highlights in one day, this tour is a great option.

Osaka Street Food Tour: 17 Dishes at 4 Local Eateries

Jessica_B, May 2026

One of the best things we did in Osaka

We were so surprised at how well-planned this trip was. Meals were preselected with options for people who avoid certain foods, seats were saved for us when we got there and we got to try a pretty wide variety of food special to the region. We really loved the part of town we went through, much different from the city area we’d been in. Our guide, Niko was a young Japanese/New Zealander so it was really helpful having someone truly fluent in both languages. He was really friendly and more than happy to take our pictures as well! Great tour, one of our favorite things we did in Osaka!

Jake_W, May 2026

Amy is amazing!!

This was a fantastic experience! It started with lots of communication from Amy on where, when and how to get to where you need to be. She put a lot of effort into coordinating everything and making sure everyone got as great of experience as possible! Going to all the sights was super fun and we knew of all the right places to be. Nara park was by far the most favourite of mine. Just watch out for some of the naughty deer, they will get you, hahahaha!

Highly recommend!

I had a wonderful experience touring Hiroshima and Miyajima with Chickako as our guide. She was extremely accommodating, informative, and made the entire day both enjoyable and meaningful. Her knowledge of the history, culture, and significance of the sites we visited added so much depth to the experience and helped bring each location to life. Chickako also did an excellent job ensuring we had sufficient time at each stop, allowing us to fully take in the beauty and importance of Hiroshima and Miyajima without ever feeling rushed. She was patient, organized, and always willing to answer questions and provide helpful insights along the way. Her friendly personality and professionalism made the tour especially memorable. I highly recommend Chickako to anyone looking for an engaging and well-paced tour experience in Hiroshima and Miyajima!

Osaka Sumo Experience with Live Show and Audience Challenge

Linda_J, Apr 2026

Don’t miss out on this fun way to learn about sumo wrestling.

What an awesome experience! First, we learned about sumo and its history. Then we met the two sumo wrestlers, Kai and Ryuu, who would be performing today. They demonstrated legal and illegal moves. They threw in a little comedy, which was so fun. Next, they invited the audience to participate. How funny was that! Last, they gave everyone an opportunity to have their picture taken with Kai and Ryuu. The staff was also very friendly and helpful. I highly recommend this experience to anyone wanting to have fun while learning about sumo wrestling. It’s totally worth the money.
