“Great experience with Mari on December 30th getting to sample food and drinks and learn a bit about Shinsekai! I liked that we visited a lot of small businesses that I probably wouldn't have found on my own without a guide. Our group was small - only 9 people - so we could visit small restaurants that a big tour wouldn't have gone to. I definitely recommend this experience for first-time visitors to Osaka.”

“We’ve had an excellent night out in Osaka with our guide, Taku. We got lucky and it was just our family of four as the whole group, so it was very much a private tour. Taku is Osaka-raised but spoke English well, and he was fun, attentive and considerate throughout. He made our children feel very comfortable. The food was great, but the real highlight is walking at a nice pace through the madness, without having to think about where to go or what to do. Lots of smiles, lots of laughs, some good photos and full bellies. Pretty happy!! Big thanks Taku.”
