Shopping in Osaka

We had the most marvelous time in Osaka with Kai helping us with the shopping. She met us at our hotel making it easy for us. We had communicated the range of souvenirs and memorable items we wanted to pick up on our last day in Japan. Kai had planned the routes and shops for us to check out. She took us to shops that the local shoppers would use and not the tourist focused. She was patient and directly provided useful and informed advise on our purchases. In just four hours we were able to whisk around with Kai knowing every little shop and short cut to get across on a busy national holiday. Just as a small example we picked up: - chop sticks with inscriptions - souvenirs from Pokemon Centre - Eye sight tested and new frames - whole variety of kit kat flavours - numerous cosmetic items - Specific Anime T-shirt - Kimono for a 2 year old She even introduced us to a vegan raman cafe. A really well I formed and knowledgeable guide. I would recommend her to anyone after a walking shopping or foodie tour in Osaka.

Our personal shopping guide in Osaka was Kai and we could not have had a better and more passionate guide to help us. We only had one morning in Osaka and had noted a myriad of items to purchase as souvenirs and memorabilia. Kai found us in our hotel on time and had already made a plan based on our initial conversations via WhatsApp. It was a national holiday so the shops and trains were exceptionally busy but Kai knew all the little side routes and ways to avoid the queues and waiting times. She listened careful to our full list of shopping and immediately had ideas on how to address each item. She was helpful and provided advice and useful feedback on the items we were purchasing. I would highly recommend Kai to anyone looking for shopping, food or walking guides in Osaka. Thank you for your help Kai.

My afternoon with Timea was fabulous. She took me on a shopping excursion and showed me much more than just stores. Her friendly personality & great knowledge base were so appreciated. I had a very fun time with Timea. Thank you so much!

I spent a lovely moring in Osaka checking out the vintage luxury purse scene with Fumiko, my guide. She helped me find shops that carried the items I was looking for, but more importantly was a great shopping buddy and translator as needed. This private tour was a great option for me when I wanted to go shopping and the rest of my group didn't. We did run into a problem that my tour started at 10am and most of the shops we wanted to look at didn't open until 11am. Fumiko tried to find the few places that opened early for us to start at, but I would advise starting shopping tours at 11am to avoid this issue.

Maria did a wonderful job customizing the time to shopping for my specific needs as well as fit in some history in the area. The best combo!
