Hello there! I'm Loys, your friendly local host here in the vibrant heart of Osaka. I'm head over heels for Osaka's street food scene. There's something magical about the sizzle of takoyaki grills and the aroma of okonomiyaki wafting through the air. From savory yakitori skewers to the sweet embrace of taiyaki, I've explored it all. And trust me, I know all the hidden gems and local joints that serve these delectable treats. But Osaka isn't just about the food; it's a city that pulses with culture. Whether it's the ancient traditions or the modern creativity, I've immersed myself in it all. Markets and shopping? Osaka's got you covered, and I'll happily guide you through the bustling stalls of Kuromon Ichiba Market or the trendy boutiques in Shinsaibashi. So, let's embark on an unforgettable journey together and create memories in Osaka!

Loys was a wonderful tour guide. He was so welcoming and friendly to my friend and I. It was our 1st visit not only to Osaka; but Japan in general. He really helped acclimate us to the city.

Our guide was terrific! I was not able to give direction before the tour. Louis was able to create a great tour on the fly. We wanted to try soufle pancakes. He even for that in! Loved it!
