A nice neighborhood tour around Osaka local food. On time pickup, friendly and knowledgeable. Great blend of culture and food enjoyment.
Thank you so much for posting a great review. I am glad to hear that you enjoyed the tour! I had such a wonderful time introducing our traditional food, culture and history of Osaka! I really wish that we had been able to go on the food tour all together. I wish your child a quick recovery. Thank you so much again for spending your precious family time with me. Please enjoyed the rest of your stay in Japan. Arigato-Gozaimashita! Best Regards Naoki
I highly recommend Naoki and the Osaka highlights tour! He was so thoughtfu, kind and interesting. My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our day with Naoki. Truly an exceptional guide. Easily 5 stars!

Arigatou-Gozaimashita. Best Regards Naoki
I booked a couple of tours with Naoki and this is one of them. We visited many places but what added value was Naoki's knowledge about them and his warm and generous hospitality. It also helped that he spoke perfect English, which left nothing to doubt and made our interactions a breeze.
Dear Jonathan, Thank you so much for spending your precious time posting a great review! I really enjoyed taking you around in the 3 cities and I felt as if we were good friends for a long time trying traditional food, local coffee together and talking about history, culture and people. I remember you everytime I see the red beans pancake shop haha good memories! Thank you again Jonathan for your kind reviw. I hope to see you again in the future!! Best Regards Naoki
We had a wonderful food tour with Naoki on our first night in Osaka. He’s passionate about his city, and is knowledgeable, friendly and fun. He took us to places where local people like to eat, so the food was truly authentic. We visited some interesting places around Dotonburi area, learned the history of these places and gained insight into the history, culture and food of Osaka. Our family really enjoyed this introduction to Osaka and highly recommend Naoki as a guide!
Dear Serena-san, Thank you so much for spending your precious time posting a great review! I am glad to hear that you enjoyed the tour.

Best Regards Naoki
