Spent a few hours seeing the sights of Osaka with Jic who was very knowledgeable and a lovely guy. I would highly recommend as he knows all the best spots for not just sightseeing but also some of the culinary treats the city has to offer.

JIC’s guidance, explanation of Osakan history in context to the prefectures was more than we anticipated. Grateful for his expertise to enable us to explore the city like a local on foot, through the subways and within the inner ally ways of this epic city!
