“We did a Foodie Osaka Tour with Kenji in the Dotonbori District and it was exactly what we were looking for! Kenji introduced us to the best places for all of the unique Osaka cuisine, or ‘Soul Food’ as Kenji liked to refer to it. Kenji even took us to a locals only sake bar that only displays as a store when you search for it! Incredible experience all around. Thank you Kenji!!”

“I had the wonderful opportunity to book guide services from them for 3 days on my recent trip to Osaka. I was travelling with 2 kids and had requested female guides. All 3 guides, Suzuka, Haruka and Risa, were just amazing. They were very friendly with the kids and really knew how to make tourists feel at home. I wish I could give them 10 stars!”
