GraceLaura_R, Dec 2024

Our tour guide Masa was great, she made sure we were able to see all the attractions and understand the historical points behind them. She was also very caring and understanding. My mum has mobility issues and made sure she was able to use all the lifts/escalators that were around as there is quite a bit of walking to do. I would highly recommend this tour if you are looking for a bit of fun in Osaka. The cup noodle factory was also a blast.

Cup noodle/Osaka castle guided tour

aaron_l, Dec 2023

We had a great and fun time with this guided tour, especially the cup noodle museum. Our guide Hisashi san took good care of us, he was very knowledge and provided good information about the history and culture of Japan. The pace was good, even the kids were able to keep up. Highly recommended!

Response from Host, Dec 2023

We're delighted to have received your positive review. So great to know that you had a good time with Hisashi and enjoyed the sites and esp. the cup noodle museum.

Hasashi is Awesome!

Madison_R, Sep 2023

This tour was amazing! Our guide Hasashi did a great job touring us around the city! He provides awesome history on the city through our stops and did an amazing job getting us to each experience. Not having to figure out which train to take where was great. He also helped us get some really good photos and even helped us find a local spot for lunch based on the foods we were looking to try. We stopped short of our last stop at Osaka castle cause I was overheated, but he was so sweet to check if we could still use our ticket from the museum the next day and gave us tips on getting around the castle.

Response from Host, Sep 2023

Thank you for taking the time to write such a detailed and generous review! We are happy to know that you enjoyed Osaka with Hisashi and very much appreciate your support. Hopefully you enjoyed Osaka Castle the next day.
