Hi there! I'm Noz, your friendly local host here in Osaka. I love nothing more than sharing the charm of this incredible city with visitors from all around the world. Osaka is a place where cultures blend seamlessly, and I’m always thrilled to introduce people to its vibrant streets and both the ocean and the mountains. One of my favorite things to do is stroll through the city, hunting for unique vintage clothes at bargain prices. I know the neighborhoods from Suma to Akashi and Harbourland to Nishinomiya like the back of my hand, and I'm always excited to share my knowledge, especially when it comes to the best local spots for Kobe beef. Whether you're looking for a hidden gem or just want to experience Osaka like a local, I'm here to make sure your stay is unforgettable. Let's explore together and make some amazing memories!
