Osaka Top Highlights Tour

Published on Dec, 2024

Ryosuke was highly personable, enthusiastic and had a great sense of humour. His willingness to share his experience of life in Japan, and keenness to learn about my life and experiences, meant that it felt more like looking around a new city with a friend than a tour.Ā  Ryosuke was knowledgeable about the locations we went and provided some great information that really helped provide context. He knew all the spots that are above and beyond the standard tourist locations.Ā  I would thoroughly recommend Guide Me Japan for your visit to Osaka and hope that you are lucky enough to meet and befriend Ryosuke!

Really Fun Tour With Incredible Guide

Published on Nov, 2024

This tour was incredible!!! My husband and I were the only people on the tour, which was such a treat. We had the best time learning about Osaka from Ryosuke. Ryosuke was knowledgeable, warm, kind, friendly, and so so funny. We felt like we were hanging out with a new dear friend the entire tour. On the tour, Ryosuke will teach you the history of Osaka and Osaka Castle, take you to various bustling parts of Osaka, treat you to a delicious lunch, and make great recommendations for local shops for souvenirs like chopsticks and lanterns. Ryosuke also candidly answered all of our questions about what modern day life in Japan is like. He is an excellent teacher. Again, we thoroughly enjoyed our time on this tour. Highly recommend!

Wonderful introduction to Osaka Castle

Published on Nov, 2024

Ryosuke gave us an amazing introduction to Osaka Castle and its history. His knowledge of early 17th century shogunates and his simplified explanation of the castleā€™s timeline was most informative. I strongly recommend parents with children to consider taking the tour. Ryosuke used images and nicknames for the samurai such as ā€˜big earā€™ and ā€˜monkeyā€™ which would capture interest from children.

Informative and Exciting

Published on Oct, 2024

Kanji was a very informative tour guide. He give thorough explanations of the areas and you can tell he is passionate and takes pride in what he does. He took me around various shops and gave all sorts of recommendations from restaurants to grocery stores and other types of businesses in the area. I highly recommend Kanji for tours throughout the Kansas area.
