Hey there! I'm Taku, your friendly local host here in the vibrant city of Osaka! When it comes to food, Osaka truly shines. From mouthwatering takoyaki to savory okonomiyaki, I'm always eager to explore new flavors and share delicious meals with fellow foodies. As your go-to guru, I know these streets like the back of my hand. From the vibrant energy of Shinsaibashi and Namba to the cultural richness of Tennoji and Shinsekai, I'll show you the best that Osaka has to offer. I'm also your go-to for all things anime and manga! Whether you're a seasoned otaku or just curious to explore, Osaka has a vibrant subculture scene waiting to be discovered. So, if you're ready for an unforgettable adventure filled with delicious food, friendly faces, and endless exploration, let's dive into the heart of Osaka together! Trust me, you're in for a treat!
We especially liked the fact that a large portion of the time was spent in a village area, relatively far-away-from Osaka center, which was authentic and local, extremely interesting and not a tourist attraction.

There was a lot fit into our 4 hour tour in Osaka. Taku showed us all the highlights and some extra small hidden gems that really added to the experience. A well rounded and balanced tour between history and culture.
