Experience tomorrow the best of
Kobe with Withlocals

"I booked a tour with Alyssa and it ended up being one of the best decisions to kick off my first trip to Japan. After sending some details about my interests in food, culture and photography, she tailored everything to my interests, and somehow managed to teach me how to navigate the Osaka subway... without me getting lost even once afterward (a true miracle). She also clued me in on all the unspoken etiquette rules that help you be a respectful visitor here — the stuff no guidebook ever actually explains well. Beyond all that, Alyssa is just genuinely kind, easy to talk to, and a joy to spend a five hours with. If you want a guide who makes you feel like you’re exploring Osaka with a knowledgeable friend, book her. Truly a highlight of my trip."

"If I could add more stars I would. We thoroughly enjoyed our food tour with Hiromi. She listened to what we requested, gave us ideas about what to do in Osaka and helped us look for certain things to bring home. I highly recommend a tour with Hiromi for your Osaka visit."

"We came into Osaka on a cruise and Hiroki met us at the port. He laid out an amazing itinerary that gave us such a great overview of Osaka. He is personable and very knowledgeable. His English is great! I would absolutely recommend Hiroki to anyone looking for a private tour in Osaka."

"Max was the perfect guide for Osaka. Having lived in the UK, he was able to explain the Japanese culture and contrast it with his UK experience. His English was perfect, he was super punctual, as comfortable conversing with our teenage kids as with us. Mixed informative historical facts on Osaka with fun insights on local life. Very flexible on itinerary, pick up and drop off. Would highly recommend "

"Our group of 4 highly recommend Maria! Our crew had a variety of interests and diets and she was able to customize the food tastings and stops accordingly. We had a wide variety of offerings, were able to better understand the history of Osaka, the evolution of the culinary scene, and prepared us for ordering meals. Dumplings, sushi, saki, wagyu, matcha ice cream, hidden temple, ramen, Cinderella croissants (these croissants were the absolute best!!! We went back the next day before we had to catch the train). Maria explained the different murals and signs and answered a bunch of our questions. We are VERY glad we connected with Maria! Arigato!"

"We couldn’t have asked for a better food tour experience with Hiroki in Osaka. He picked the perfect combination of places to enjoy a complementary variety of local specialties. Hiroki was fun and easy to spend time with, and his insights about what we ate and where we went added real depth to the tour. Communication and tour pacing were great as well. Highly recommended!"

"Allysa created the perfect food experience for us including some restrictions we had and we all could enjoy the amazing, local food experience. She’s also very informative and helpful. We had a great time! "
