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!

My reviews

    We really enjoyed this as it was quite different to anything else we had tried. It was great learning about Osaka's food history and going to the very first sushi train restaurant and sampling some Okinamayaki. Loys was a great host thank you!

    We had a fantastic time with Loys touring Osaka. He was extremely knowledgeable about the history, culture and location. He curated a mix of history, shopping and food … as well as some fun arcades for the kids. We felt we found hidden treasures we would have otherwise missed … like the beautiful knives with hand engraving! Thank you to Loys for a fabulous tour and highly recommend for anyone looking to understand and enjoy Osaka!

    Great tour! Got to see some amazing locations in Osaka. Loys in particular provided great history and excitement of knowledge on the tour - both old and new Osaka. It was clear that he enjoyed providing the tour as much as we enjoyed taking it. Can't recommend enough.
