Ohayo!! My name is Maria and I have lived in Nara for many years now. Nara is the ancient capital of Japan. Here, you will find the world's biggest Buddha, lots of World Heritage temples, a very famous deer park. It is just an hour train ride away from Osaka. Osaka is Japan's third biggest city and has lots of fun and lively activities, art cultures, and if you're a foodie like me, lots and lots of streets food for the adventurers. Osaka also has fine dining experiences, on high end restaurants with spectacular views. There are also plenty of places that are quiet and serene which we refer as the hidden treasures of Osaka. If you're interested, please don't hesitate to reach out. Looking forward to meeting you.

Maria was flexible and knowledgeable. She was also very helpful with our little children by keeping them entertained and out of trouble. My girls loved hanging out with her!

Maria was an excellent guide. She was flexible to our needs and patient to show us around the city. We sped through the castle and found some interesting, local areas that were more interesting and she could inform us on Japanese culture. We highly recommend her.

Osaka was our 5th and last stop of our Japan trip. We wanted to see some of the off the beaten path sights. Maria designed a really fun sightseeing tour for us. We would definitely recommend.
