Hi there! I’m Max, your local host here in Osaka. What I love most about this vibrant city is how it’s always buzzing with energy, yet maintains a laid-back atmosphere where people are warm. Each neighborhood has its own unique charm, from the retro vibes of Shinsekai to the lively streets of Namba and the modern feel of Umeda. I enjoy discovering new izakayas, cafes, and bars, and I am always on the lookout for hidden gems. I'm particularly fond of the street art and galleries in Nakazakicho and Nakanoshima, and I know the best spots in Tenma and Kyobashi for a great night out at the pubs. I love spending time at Osaka Castle Park, taking in the beautiful natural surroundings. Whether you're here for the food, the art, or just to soak up the local atmosphere, I'm here to make sure you have an unforgettable experience in this incredible city!
Max was fantastic—friendly, knowledgeable, and showed us both famous spots and hidden gems. They tailored the day to our interests and made everything easy and fun. A perfect way to experience Osaka. Highly recommend

We were a group of 4. Max Yahagi was amazing. He explained the highlights of Osaka thoroughly and he personalized to trip around us. We were greatly appreciated that he made us feel as a friend. He was a very friendly tour guide.

Max went above and beyond in guiding us through Osaka. He was willing to meet us and explain the subway system; as well as, point out the best restaurants for us to dine in after our tour.
