      Fun tour of Osaka

      "Maria gave us a great tour of Osaka and its favorite foods and snacks! In spite of heavy rain, she showed us lots to see and do…. And eat! Everybody in our group of four appreciated learning about the market, the food scene and Dotonbori. We enjoyed talking with Maria and she gave us way more than our money’s worth. We highly recommend a food tour like this…. Especially if you are tired of seeing temples and shrines! Thanks again to Maria."

      A wonderful experience with Hiromi

      "We had a wonderful food-tasting tour in Osaka with Hiromi. She introduced us to delicious local specialities and shared interesting insights about the food and the city. Hiromi was warm, knowledgeable and excellent company, making the whole evening feel relaxed and personal. We thoroughly enjoyed the experience and highly recommend her."

      Delicious & informative!

      "Hiromi San was a terrific guide for our family of 5! We are not new to Japan, having come over 5 times, but it was our first time in Osaka as a family, and she did a great job of introducing us to Osaka specialties and tailoring her tour to our interests and tastes, including speaking both Japanese and English to our group!

      We LOVED Kalid! 💕👏

      "We had a wonderful experience with Kalid! He was very flexible and adjusted the tour plans to suit our needs and dietary preferences. He was very knowledgeable and a lot of fun to talk to. We tried the Osaka street food that you hear about but we wouldn’t know where to find the best options or even how to order. He also dealt expertly with my tired, picky daughters. Thank you so much, Kalid! "

      Tasty food, nice guy!

      "We had a lovely tour. Sho let us tasted Osaka's specialties. The food was delicious and there was more than enough of it. We had nice conversations. This is also one of the reasons we book a food tour: to meet the people behind the city. My daughter shared the same taste in music as Sho, which opened the door for great conversations. Sho was easy to reach via WhatsApp, and arranging things went smoothly. I recommend this food tour to everyone!"

      A fantastic evening with Maria

      "Our family with 2 children (ages 9 & 12) had an amazing food tour with Maria. We tried almost everything Osaka has to offer and with some secret gems too. Maria was very informative about the history of Osaka also and shared many insights about Japanese culture. I would highly recommend Maria. "

      Shining through the rain

      "My family (6 people total) had such a great time with Fay. Fay was friendly and funny, and it was easy to talk to her throughout the night. She made sure to plan the tour so that our two non-seafood eaters could have a great time as well. She was also really flexible due to weather delays causing us to be a bit late to the start of the tour. We loved getting the context behind the different foods she chose and were all so full by the end of the night. This tour was a vacation highlight for the adult children of the group! It was a great way to explore food in Osaka!"

      "Best tour we’ve had using With Locals! We booked the Osaka food tour with Fay and had a wonderful time. Our group consisted of 2 adults and 6 teens with varying interests. Fay managed to find food that everyone was able to enjoy; even our picky eater and vegetarian! Fay has a friendly and welcoming personality which made talking with her very easy and engaging. We would recommend Fay to anyone!"

      Amazing hospitality with Fay

      "Fay was an incredible host for our family while we visited the area. The food tour was one of the highlights of our time in Osaka, but what really impressed us was how much she cared about her guests. When my daughter wasn’t feeling well, Fay offered to help us navigate local doctors, pharmacies, and the healthcare system—something completely beyond the scope of a food tour. That level of kindness and service is rare. Fay wasn’t just a great guide; she was someone who genuinely looked out for our family. We would recommend her without hesitation."
