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!

    The personalized attention and detailed historical insights provided by the guide. Visiting the hidden gems of Osaka that we wouldn’t have found on our own was a highlight. Thank you for an unforgettable experience. We will definitely book more tours with your company in the future.

    I recently experienced a private walking tour of Osaka, and it was absolutely fantastic! Our guide was knowledgeable, friendly, and passionate about the city. We explored hidden gems, historical sites, and vibrant local markets, all while learning fascinating facts about Osaka’s culture and history. The tour was well-paced, and the personalized attention made it a truly memorable experience. I highly recommend this tour to anyone looking to discover the heart and soul of Osaka.

    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.
