Experience Food Tours in Kobe with Withlocals

"Hiromi took us to places visited by locals that we will probably have never notice or have known of. The food was absolutely delicious and she was very relatable. She also made suggestions for future visits to Osaka. Love Hiromi!"

"Naoki is an amazing tour guide for Osaka. It started even before the trip where we wanted to know more about the family. Naoki has grown up in Osaka and showed us an amazing time. Not only did he explain the history of each stop, but also talked about some his past experiences. Each restaurant we stopped at was amazing. From Takoyaki to Gyoza and more, each one was delicious. What my family found most impressive was his attentiveness. It happened to be hot and Naoki catered the tour to make sure we didn't get too hot. Even though it was a a tasting tour, my family really loved how he shared Shinto and Buddhism beliefs in Japan. I highly recommend Naoki for an amazing experience in Osaka. "

"Simone was a lively, well-informed, and joyful tour guide. Not only did he bring us to great places to eat, but showed us a bit of the vast history of Osaka. We loved walking down the streets with him and cracking jokes while eating gyoza. Book Simone if possible! His Japanese is great which was very helpful in getting around. We will be keeping in touch with him! Thanks, Simone!!!"

"We had one day in Osaka and had the perfect day with Simone on the food tour. Simone LOVES Japan, and it shows in every part of his tour. He was engaging, knowledgeable, and took time and thought to cater our experience to our needs. We wandered all over the city, tried delicious food, and had a great time. This was my first experience with With Locals and I will definitely use it for future traveling. Thanks, Simone, for a great day in Osaka!"

"I spent a great time with Hiromi strolling around Osaka tasting many different things"

"Our group of five really enjoyed our time with Hiromi. From start to finish she took great care of us. We learned a lot about the history of each food item that we tried and honestly, the places we visited were all local places that we would never have found if left on our own. The pacing was perfect and the time passed too quickly. At the end of the tour we were all so full and happy. We highly recommend the food tour with Hiromi!"

"We had a great time last on the tasting tour of Osaka with Ricky. He was happy to talk about the city and our shared love of trying new foods. Many of the selections we wouldn't have picked out of the huge selection of food in the area and we are so glad he was there to help. We appreciated bringing g us to authentic local shops and sharing the history of the foods. If you are in Osaka we strongly recommend you give this tour and Ricky a try. He also recommended restaurants at our next stop in Kyoto! THANKS RICKY!"

"We would recommend a tour with Naoki to anyone visiting Osaka, not just for the excellent food but for the insight into Japan, its culture, history and traditions. We learnt so much, and enjoyed trying all the dishes in authentic restaurants….. the best gyoza we had in Japan. To Naoki…. “ We enjoyed our conversation”, it was a wonderful evening, a pleasure to meet you and thank you again. "

"Hiromi provided an outstanding private food tour in Osaka. She was excellent at communicating ahead of the tour. She expertly accommodated our challenging dietary preferences while delivering an authentic taste of the city's incredible food scene. What made this tour special was her deep knowledge of Osaka's history and culture, which she shared throughout our evening, making each stop more meaningful. Hiromi's warmth and genuine passion for sharing her city made the entire experience feel personal and memorable. I would highly recommend Hiromi to anyone looking for an authentic, personalized introduction to Osaka's food culture. Thank you, Hiromi, for such a wonderful evening!"

"Hiromi was a wonderful guide for the 10 tastings of Osaka we booked. She took us to eateries we wouldn't have found on our own which served wonderful food. We ate the best Sashimi of our time in Japan, drank Hiromi's favorite sparkling Sake and had the last stuffed buns (I forgot the name) of the day. She told us about the food, her life and Osaka in general. It was overall a very nice experience, and we where stuffed at the end of the night. Hiromi listend to our preferences and ended the tour with recommendations for drinks. A recommendation for sure. Thanks Hiromi 🙏"
