Experience the best of
Osaka with Withlocals

"We were so worried that we were going to be late with a rain delay and miss our trip in Osaka. When we arrived late and in the rain, Jessica was there and ready to take us on an foodies tour and to a scenic spot afterwards. It was a great pivot for what had been a rather miserable day. Thank you so much! "

"We spent 3~4 hours with Maria today. She took us on the train and subway, to Kuromon Ichiba Market, Osaka Castle, and showed us many other shops and food places on the way, dropping us off at a lovely Ramen place for lunch (Kamukura). Maria is absolutely lovely and very knowledgeable, and she was very interactive and playful with our 3 children (14,13 & 8). Would highly recommend Maria as a guide!"

"David is extraordinary-knowledgeable, fun and a delight. "

"We booked Fay for two consecutive days while docked in Osaka for a cruise. She could not have been more helpful, getting us situated with local transit and meeting us at our port. She has a happy, friendly, energetic personality that immediately put us at ease, and her English is excellent. The pacing of her tours never felt rushed, but we saw SO MANY THINGS in our days with her. I cannot recommend her enough. ❤️"

"We booked Fay for two consecutive days while in Osaka as part of a cruise. She went above and beyond for us, meeting us at the port and guiding us through adding Japanese transit cards to our phones, on top of being a friendly and knowledgeable tour guide. The pacing of our days never felt rushed, but we saw the same things as some of the official cruise tours, in half the time and for half the price, while also getting a personalized experience and a private guide for the 4 of us rather than being stuck on a full day bus with a hundred other people. Our only regret is that we can’t take Fay with us for the other stops on our cruise. ❤️"

"Maria was an exceptional guide! She showed us Osaka in a very memorable way. She was very accommodating as I was travelling with my elderly mother & would take us via the elevators and ramps & also showed us Vegan/Vegetarian restaurants in Dotonbori Street, which my mother could enjoy. We took many brilliant pictures which will remain forever in our memory. Thank you, Maria :)"

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

"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!"

"Ms. Hiromi gave us the best tour so far in Japan. Born and raised in Osaka, she provided many interesting facts not just about the city and it’s temples, but also about the people and culture. We booked the Osaka Tour and she was a wonderful tour guide for the two of us. Plus she took very good pictures of us. Thank you. Arigatou gozaimasu"

"We had a few hrs. to stroll in Osaka. Fay met us at the cruise terminal and help us navigate the metro system. She was attentive, personable and informative. She communicated with us before hand to tailor our experience. A combination of traditional and modern Osaka. Shinto shrines, food, shopping and photos opportunities. Explanations and narratives were concise. Good English communicator."
