I had such a wonderful time exploring Osaka with Fumiko! From the beginning, she was warm, friendly, and incredibly thoughtful in planning a tour that matched exactly what I was looking for. She guided me through charming neighborhoods, local markets, and hidden gems that I never would have discovered on my own. Her deep knowledge of the city, culture, and everyday life in Osaka added so much meaning to everything we saw. I especially appreciated how flexible the tour was—we could take our time and truly enjoy each stop without feeling rushed. At the Osaka Castle, Fumiko shared interesting insights that made the visit more meaningful. I felt like I experienced the real spirit of Osaka.

We did a 9 hour Nara day trip with Fumiko on 4/9. She was great-- we switched hotels and she was flexible in picking us up at our new hotel lobby. She was knowledgeable about the sites visited, navigated the train system for us, and was patient with our souvenir shopping and perusing during the entire day. We had a great time and I would highly recommend. We saw the Nara deer, Todai-iji temple, did some shopping in downtown Nara, and a sake tasting. She was great at personalizing our itinerary to our desired activities.
