Experience the best of
Osaka with Withlocals

"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 🙏"

"We had the pleasure of joining a food tour with Hiromi, and it was truly one of the highlights of our trip. She took us to a variety of local spots, some of which we would have never discovered on our own. A few places looked a little unconventional at first, but turned out to serve the best food we had during our stay—especially the sashimi, which was hands down the best of our entire trip! Hiromi is incredibly knowledgeable about local cuisine and shares great stories and cultural context along the way, which made the experience so much more than just eating. You can really tell she has a passion for food and for connecting people with authentic, local flavors. If you're looking to experience real local food beyond the typical tourist spots, we really recommend Hiromi!"

"Naoki is an outstanding guide and is incredibly friendly and full of knowledge about the city, the country, history and much more. You can feel that he loves his job and you always get useful little bits of information in passing. He speaks perfect and clear English, which makes listening and communicating super easy. Thank you very much, Naoki, for the great time with you!"

"Jessica was a wonderful guide; we experienced amazing food and enjoyed her taking us throughout the city including a subway ride to a hidden gem of a restaurant. We loved our day with Jessica. "

"Our walking food tour in Osaka was an unforgettable experience, filled with delicious local bites and hidden gems we never would have found on our own. Hiromi, our guide, was incredibly warm, knowledgeable, and made the whole afternoon feel like we were exploring the city with a friend. From savory street snacks to sweet treats, every stop told a story and left us wanting more!"

"Hiromi was a fantastic guide on our food tour of Osaka. She was full of interesting facts and was able to accomodate our groups tastes and allergies. Gave us all the help we could ask for about how to spend our remaining time in Osaka! Great fun 😁"
