Experience the best of
Osaka with Withlocals

"Really enjoyed our time with Sebastian who took us to some significant Japanese spiritual sites followed by some great places to go for a local Osaka meal. Very knowledgeable about the area and patient with some first-time Japanese visitors. Thanks Sebastian. "

"Our tour and walk with Bianca was simply wonderful. Our only regret is that we should not have eaten breakfast before coming on the walk. There are so many diverse food and snack options available you will have no issues finding something that everyone will enjoy. I encourage anyone who wants to learn more about the local food scene to take a tour with Bianca! "

"Our tour with Naoki was even better than anticipated! In each country we visit, the one tour that we book is a food tour. We have had great experiences with our guides, but Naoki is now our favorite. He was very kind, personable, easy to talk to, and fun to be around. He brought us to a few spots frequented by locals that had really great food. We really appreciated his knowledge. I would highly recommend a tour with Naoki to anyone visiting Osaka! Okini-Arigato-Gozaimashita, Naoki!"

"My family of seven had an amazing time with Naoki. We had three kids ages 10 to 16, and four adults. Naoki spoke perfect English and was extremely accommodating. He took care of all details and knew facts about everything. We would highly recommend Naoki for anybody, including families with kids, if you you’re traveling in the Kansai area and want an English speaking tour guide. He was awesome!"

"A food tour with Kuni was a perfect way to kick off our time in Osaka. He was friendly, informed and fun. We loved the food, the restaurants / food stalls and the photos he took for us along the way. I would highly recommend this activity with Kuni!"

"We were a family of 5 with kids aged 9, 11 and 14, with different requirements. Naoki was so friendly and amazing with the kids many random questions! They warmed to him straight away. He took us to places we would never have found, nothing was too much trouble. It was a perfect combination of sightseeing and food tasting, even the rain didn't impact how much fun it was. Would highly recommend."

"We really enjoyed our time with Naoki! He was a kind, thoughtful, warm and fun host. The food was great and the locations we went to were really interesting. "

"We spent a fantastic three hours food tour with Naoki. In fact, it was more than a simple food tour, it was a real Osaka cultural immersion. Naoki has a deep knowledge of his town and he is a really good communicator. We went to local restaurants where Osaka people eat together okonomiyaki, takoyaki, kashikatsu and, of course, taiyaki. And let’s not forget sake, umeshu plum wine and highball whisky soda. We also visited some temples and shrines. Naoki informed us of traditional rituals and their meaning. We learned a lot. We spent an amazing evening with Naoki."

"We had a fantastic time with Naoki. Great guy who weaved a perfect blend of food, activities, history & culture. The whole family really enjoyed the experience."

"Naoki came to our hotel so we didn’t have to figure out how to get to him. The royal treatment from the start! He was so friendly and really knowledgeable about his city. We loved getting to know Osaka with him and learning the traditions for entering the various shrines. This was actually super useful for our remaining days in the area when we visited other shrines and temples. At the end he got us a reservation at a great restaurant for okonomiyaki. It was delicious! Thanks for everything Naoki! "
