I’ve lived in Osaka for 7 years
I speak English, Japanese
I am a Model, Dancer and art gallery staff.
My name is Aoi, and I am passionate about the unique charm of Osaka. One of my favorite landmarks is the Tower of the Sun, located in Expo '70 Commemorative Park. Its fascinating history, from near demolition to restoration and reopening in 2018, reflects the city's resilience. I also love visiting Osaka Tenmangu Shrine, particularly the peaceful Reifu-sha, where I feel connected to Japan's ancient spirit. With a deep knowledge of the city's arts scene, cultivated through four years of work in galleries and events, I can guide you through Osaka’s cultural landscape. From the vibrant Shinsaibashi and Namba neighborhoods to the serene Minamimorimachi area, I know where to find the best second-hand shops and hidden Kissatens. A perfect day in Osaka starts with a shrine visit, followed by exploring art galleries, vintage stores, and ending with a quiet coffee in one of the city’s charming Kissatens. Let me show you the Osaka I love.
