    Great guide and detailed tour!

    Tara_G, Sep 2025
    I lucked out on this tour and happened to be the only guest that day. The guide AJ Kajiiwara did a thorough job and shared a detailed history of the temples and Osaka castle. I highly recommend this tour and ask for this guide- AJ Kajiwara!
