Hey there, I'm Jonathan, your friendly local host here in Osaka! What I adore most about Osaka is its vibe; I can stroll around this vibrant city without a worry in the world. And speaking of strolls, have you heard of the world's biggest underground shopping center? You'll find me exploring a new spot there every day, soaking in the unique atmosphere of Northern Osaka's Umeda or the lively vibes of Southern Osaka Minami. But wait, there's more! I'm not just an Osaka guru; I've got the lowdown on Kyoto and Kobe's top spots, too. Want to uncover hidden temples or snag the best souvenirs? I've got you covered. And when it comes to restaurants and shop owners, I've got a list as long as the Dotonbori Canal! So, let's make your Osaka adventure a blast! Whether it's laughter, culture, or just exploring this amazing city, I'm your guy. Let's create some unforgettable memories together!

My reviews

    We had Jonathan as our tour guide. We recommend him if you're wanting a more laid back experience. He took us around Osaka and showed us various sites and shrines. Gave us a lot of history and told us about the culture of the area.

    This was my third time joining a tour organized by "City Unscripted," and once again, it did not disappoint. Upon arrival, I was greeted by my local guide - "Jonathan." Jonathan proved to be a well-prepared guide, adept at handling unforeseen situations calmly and composedly. He had a knack for explaining the intricacies of Japanese society understandably. Beyond the usual tourist spots, he also introduced us to hidden gems known mostly to locals – places that a foreign tourist might typically overlook. Touring with Jonathan allowed me to relax and fully enjoy the beautiful moments. It's experiences like these that make travel truly memorable.
