Hi, I’m Mash! I love sharing the hidden gems of Nara and Osaka with visitors. I know Nara inside out from Todaiji and Kasuga-taisha to Koufukuji, Horyuji, and Yakushiji. I enjoy visiting temples to pray and exploring quiet corners of the city. I also know Osaka like the back of my hand, especially Namba, Shinsekai, and Nishinari, where I can take you to karaoke bars that usually only locals can enter. I love showing neighborhoods off the beaten path and sharing stories that make the city come alive. Fun, friendly, and curious, I make every tour both entertaining and memorable.
