What are people saying about Osaka

Manny_C, Nov 2026

Exceptional!

Our full-day private tour of Kyoto with Yuhei was, simply put, exceptional! From beginning to end, he was attentive, personable, and genuinely interested in making sure our day reflected our interests and what we wanted to experience. We visited some of Kyoto’s most iconic sights, including Fushimi Inari Shrine, the beautiful Bamboo Forest in Arashiyama, and the magnificent Golden Pavilion (Kinkaku-ji). At each stop, Yuhei went beyond simply showing us the sights. He shared fascinating historical facts, explained the significance of the temples and landmarks, and gave us a wonderful insight into Japanese traditions, customs, and culture. We came away with a much deeper appreciation and understanding of Japan. One of the many highlights was our fantastic ramen and gyoza lunch! Yuhei took the time to ask what we were in the mood for and then selected the perfect spot. It was absolutely delicious and felt like a genuine local experience rather than just another tourist stop. What truly made the day special was Yuhei himself. His warmth, knowledge, flexibility, and attention to detail made the entire experience feel personal and effortless. He was always accommodating, never rushed us, and made sure we got the most out of every moment. We cannot recommend Yuhei highly enough. If you are visiting Kyoto and want more than just a sightseeing tour — an experience that gives you a real appreciation of the history, traditions, food, and culture of Japan — Yuhei is the guide you want. An outstanding day with an outstanding guide!

Osaka Sumo Experience with Live Show and Audience Challenge

Trenton_H, Nov 2026

Unforgettable Experience. USA Traveller

This is the second time I’ve been to Japan and this was one of the most memorable things I’ve done. I got to go full go with a decorated sumo wrestler! Thank you Ryu, our match was so fun. I tried throwing all my wrestling moves at you to get you off balance but you were too good! I would definitely do this experience again, and would recommend anyone reading to book! If you actually want to challenge the wrestlers, something to note is that we had 7 people stand up to volunteer out of ~30 and the max amount was 8 challengers. I think that’s a really good number, and if you want to challenge the wrestler this booking gives you a great chance to do so.

Kyoto Day Tour: Fushimi Inari, Arashiyama, Kinkaku-ji & Kiyomizu

Anthony_P, Nov 2026

Amazing Tour to get all the major sites

So well organised and easy to follow along with Lydia was an absolute superstar of a guide, she had all the great tips for viewing the sites and amazing photography skills and ideas, worth doing the tour for that alone. The tour itself took us to all the big sites in Kyoto in one day from Osaka, something that would be nearly impossible to do without the bus.

Momoka did an excellent job. She patiently took pictures at the places she knew were the best sights. She walked at a reasonable pace. She explained all about the temples and shrines we saw and was very knowledgeable. I would definitely recommend taking a tour with her!

A great cultural experience - a highlight of our trip!

A wonderful experience to learn more about Japanese culture, tradition and history while experiencing unique everyday life in Japan. The tour had a great aspect of guided and self-paced. Our tour guide Tina was incredibly knowledgeable, friendly and welcoming. Tina shared insights stories and local knowledge that we would not have discovered on our own.

We had a wonderful time...

We had a wonderful time on the Osaka Hot Spots & Hidden Gems tour with Bosse. He was very friendly and knowledgeable. His passion for Osaka really shone through as he brought the city’s history and culture to life. We did a four hour tour and were able to see good variety of sights and neighbourhoods. The pace was perfect, giving us plenty of time to take everything in without ever feeling rushed. Our family truly enjoyed the experience. Bose also shared excellent recommendations for places to visit and eat after the tour. We loved the tour and wholeheartedly recommend Bosse.

Hiroshima & Miyajima Tour From Hiroshima, Osaka, Kyoto, Fukuoka

SCOTT_B, Nov 2026

Great tour from beginning to end.

I highly recommend the Hiroshima & Miyajima tour it was one of the highlights of our visit to beautiful Japan.. We were met at the Osaka Shinkansen (Bullet Train) station by the tour guide who made sure we all got to the correct platform. A 120 minutes later after seeing the Japan country side zip by at over 180 miles and hour we arrived at Hiroshima Station and met by our guide for the day Azusa. Azusa was one of the best tour guides we have ever had, so informative about what we are seeing and the history behind how Hiroshima was the chosen for the bombing. During our travels between stops she gave us insight of what it's like living in Japan and had the most amazing sense of humor that had us all laughing hysterically. A great lunch of Hiroshima-style Okonomiyaki is provided before you take the ferry over to Miyajima Island to see the the famous torii gate which appears to be floating during high tide. You an also visit the nearby shrine, shop and eat in the small village and see the many Sika deer which call Miyajima home before you go back to the train station for the relaxing Shinkansen back to Osaka.

Osaka food tour

Our guide Niko was a joy!!! Just delightful. At the end of our tour he walked each one of us to either the station or to get a taxi and made sure we all got on our way safely. I wasn’t very happy with the choice of food however. Would have preferred a little higher standard even if I’d have to pay more.

Kyoto Private Car Tour – Full Day with Local Guide & Nara Option

Allison_L, Oct 2026

Fabulous 8 hour private tour

Riku was wonderful. He picked us up from the train station and then began our private tour. It was a rainy day but still spectacular. We saw the Golden Temple, Bamboo Gardens from a rickshaw, enjoyed a delicious ramen lunch and drove to Nara to see Todai-ji and the angelic wild deer. We learned so much about these sites and really enjoyed Riku’s knowledge and company. I highly recommend!
