Having lived here for decades, I’ll also share local stories and perspectives you’re unlikely to find in a guidebook. We’ll also enjoy lunch at a locally loved restaurant most visitors would never discover on their own. Come for the temple and waterfall — leave with a deeper understanding of Japan.

What are people saying about Osaka

KSjaan, Nov 2026

Kyoto By Day

I gave this 5 stars because our tour guide Kiron was wonderful. His knowledge and commentary really gave the tour stops meaning. The stops themselves were very very crowded. Often times hardn to get q good picture because of all the people. If you don't like crowds these shrines and temples may not be for you. Despite the large crowds, the shrines and temples were amazing to see and learn about. For a person who does not do well in crowds, I did ok. You will walk a lot so keep that in mind as well. I totally recommend.

Osaka Kickstart: Hotspots & Hidden Gems Tour

Erin_F, Nov 2026

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.

Best food and best guide!

This was such a highlight of my Osaka visit! Anna was the absolute best tour guide - she shared insights about Osaka, and Japan, and food in the area. She knew all the best places (and gave pointers on how to avoid the tourist traps!), and was so much fun to spend the evening with. I'll be requesting Anna as my tour guide again on my next Osaka trip, and recommending her to all my friends who come through!!

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.

From Kyoto / Osaka: Kyoto Must-see Spots & Nara Park One Day Tour

Katie_C, Nov 2026

Long but fun day with...

Long but fun day with Joy! We had a large group which was a little overwhelming but everyone was great! My seatmate and I were both solo travelers and had a fun time chatting during the tour. We had a nice little lunch ordering from a few vendors and enjoying the sun. Joy was very knowledgeable and explained things well. The sites were crowded (as expected) but still gorgeous and worth seeing! Got a unique souvenir while feeding the deer in Nara 😅 The pace was good but I feel like we could have spent a little less time in Nara as we really only fed the deer there. Big thanks to our bus driver as well! He navigated everything smoothly and was very patient. Thanks to Joy for a wonderful day!

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.

Fantastic tour - great addition to our time in Osaka!

This tour was outstanding! The group was small so ideal for conversing with our amazing guide, Yukina, a local who is fluent in English and so knowledgeable about the food and history of Osaka. We sampled food and drink at five different places, none of which we’d ever find on our own. Friends of ours took this tour two years ago and recommended it.

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!

Nara was a great place to experience. The deer were fun to feed but beware they can be a bit wild especially the big males! The shrine and temples were amazing too and the massive Buddha statue was outstanding to see. Our guide Ayana was friendly and knowledgeable too!
