Experience the best of
Kobe with Withlocals

"A nice walking tour of Osaka. Especially enjoyed Osaka Castle. Maria was informative and friendly."

"We had a fantastic City & Tastings Tour in Kobe, Japan with Pere. He was personable, knowledgeable, insightful, and extremely accommodating throughout the day. Meeting us directly at the pier made everything easy and stress-free. What really set this tour apart was Pere's ability to take us beyond the typical tourist attractions and introduce us to hidden gems around Kobe that we never would have found on our own. The local food stops were delicious and authentic, giving us a true taste of the city. His stories and insights brought each location to life and made the experience both enjoyable and memorable. We highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Kobe and looking for an insider's perspective, great food, and unique places off the beaten path. Until next time, Pere, be well and wishing you and your wife all the best in parenthood! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐"

"We booked a last-minute tour with Jessica in Osaka and had an absolutely fantastic time. She did an excellent job planning activities that kept both the adults and children engaged and entertained throughout the day. Her knowledge of the area was outstanding, and she shared great local insights that made the experience even more enjoyable. Jessica was flexible, personable, and made everything feel effortless despite the short notice. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for a fun, well-organized, and family-friendly tour in Osaka!"

"Maria took us to the Shinsekai area where we tried fabulous fried chicken skewers, award winning gyoza and local stuffed pancakes. We also visited the dotonbori district and visited part of an original temple there. We were a family, 3 generations, and a one year old. Maria was patient and took a slow pace to suit us all, highly recommend!"

"Thank you Hiromi for a great day and we all so appreciated your assistance with all our requirements in regard to the trains etc. Hiromi is just lovely we did so much longest walking street which was crazy busy a must see! So much walking we ended in Dotonburri it is a very busy area with lots of touristy things. We had a lovely lunch with Hiromi too. "

"If I ever have the privilege and pleasure of returning to Osaka, Fay will be my first call. She was very knowledgeable about the city she loves and has a sparkling personality. She took us places we never would have found on our own and I really hope I have the chance to revisit them again someday, with Fay of course, because we didn’t have nearly enough time. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Don’t hesitate! Book Fay today. 🤩"

"We had an absolutely wonderful experience with Simone exploring Osaka. From the very beginning he went out of his way to customize our tour to match exactly what we were hoping to see and experience. He seamlessly blended our requested highlights with hidden gems, taking us through local neighborhoods, off-the-beaten-path markets, and a vibrant locals only food market that we never would have discovered on our own. We loved every minute of it! Our visit to Osaka Castle was also truly memorable—he brought the history to life with fascinating insights into the different Japanese periods, making it both engaging and easy to understand. It felt like we weren’t just sightseeing, but truly connecting with the culture and history. What we really loved about Simone was how much he went above and beyond. He joined us for a delicious burger lunch that my husband was craving helping us navigate the local food scene for a charming spot and then even personally escorted us to the kitchen shopping district afterward. His thoughtfulness, generosity, and attention to detail made the entire day feel effortless and extra special. He was super fun, gracious, and incredibly knowledgeable, and he truly made our last day in Japan unforgettable. We couldn’t have asked for a better guide and would highly recommend him to anyone visiting Osaka!"

"Peri was a great guide for our first time to Kobe. He was friendly, patient and flexible. He listened to our interests and adjusted to our needs. He shared his discoveries and was knowledgeable. "

"Simone was an outstanding guide during my trip to Japan. From the beginning, he was professional, knowledgeable, and incredibly helpful. He made navigating Japan easy and shared so much local insight that I never would have discovered on my own. His friendly personality and attention to detail made the entire experience smooth and enjoyable. If you’re visiting Japan and want a knowledgeable, trustworthy guide who truly cares about your experience, I highly recommend Simone."

"Max was a wonderful guide, who, having grown up in both Japan and England, speaks perfect English (I can’t really speak to his Japanese, but it seemed excellent!). He was incredibly helpful when we unfortunately left a bag on the subway, helping us navigate the train lost-and-found and the police, all resulting in the successful return of our bag! "
