Experience the best of
Osaka with Withlocals

"Hiromi was absolutely fantastic. She was friendly and energetic and knowledgeable. She was incredibly flexible with our changes to the tour and was quick to offer many options that might appeal to us. When we deviated from what we had discussed prior to meeting, she rolled with the punches perfectly and made every bit of the tour excellent and memorable. Even when asked to do something completely different she was immediately on board and did not hesitate to continue giving excellent information about every nuance and historical detail about where we were and what we were seeing. She was completely unfazed that it was raining and continued giving her all despite the weather. I cannot recommend her highly enough! If you have a chance to take a tour with Hiromi, you absolutely must! She is a treasure! I hope that we can come back and have another tour with her! "

"We did 3 Withlocals tours in Japan and this one was our favorite! Hiromi really added to the experience. It wasn’t just tasting foods but learning some history of the foods and Japan. We loved some of the places she showed us so much that we went back for seconds that same night 🙈. Cannot recommend this tour enough! She also tailored to our likes which we really appreciated. "

"Hiromi was warm and welcoming and knowledgable about the origins and types of food! We had must-try Osaka foods and she shared some of her usual lunch spots with us. She even gave us locals suggestions to further explore Osaka away from the tourists. I only wish we had scheduled our tour on day 1 or 2 of our visit to Osaka. We'll definitely recommend her to friends in the future! "

"Our group of 4 had an amazing evening sampling some of the best food in Osaka. Hiromi was so kind and patient with us as we walked around town stepping into delicious spaces what from the crazy crowds. Everything was fantastic and Hiromi also shared her knowledge of the history of the different areas we visited as well as the food we were eating. We had tons of questions about Japanese culture and everyday life in Osaka she was happy to share. She also gave us many recommendations for other places we shouldn’t miss as well as answered some follow up questions we had the next day. We had a flexible evening trying different foods we’d heard about or shouldn’t miss on our visit to Osaka. Take a tour wish Hiromi on your visit here! It will be a highlight of your trip."

"Both my wife and me had an incredible tour with our brilliant host Naoki, who had a fantastic sense of humour as well. We'd asked for an off the beaten path of Osaka and oh did Naoki deliver!! We saw areas and local spots that we'd not have found in a million years, getting to see the temple that arranges the yearly fireworks festival and hearing awesome facts that we'd never have known, truly made us feel special. We can't recommend Naoki enough and hope to get to meet again!! "

"We had a great food tour with Hiromi. She introduced us to a lot of interesting foods, and tailored the tour to our food preferences. She also introduced us to interesting aspects of Osaka culture. We had a number of questions about Japanese culture that she also answered for us. Her English was excellent, having spent time in Canada and the United States in the past. We enjoyed our time with her very much and would highly recommend her."

"We had a great time! Walking together trough the streets was so much fun! Hiromi didn‘t only ordered food for us and had great recommendations for traditional drinks, but told us a lot about the area! We would definitely recommend the tour with her to our friends. "

"We couldn’t have asked for a better guide for a day in Osaka. Naoki is a delightful person, and speaks perfect English. And he is a true local. He has a great understanding of history as well as current culture and politics. He was wonderful in answering our questions, and showing us things that were particular to our interests. He showed us so many iconic as well as unusual places, and had so many interesting stories. We highly recommend him!"

"Jessica took us on an incredible food journey through Osaka that was absolutely unforgettable! We’d already been in Japan for two weeks, sampling so many different foods, but Jessica made our experience extra special by asking about everything we’d already tried and customizing our tastings to introduce us to new and unique flavors. She has a true foodie’s knowledge and passion, sharing local specialties that we would have never thought to try on our own. The Fami Chiki “secret” was such a cool surprise! It’s something we would have missed if not for her insider knowledge. Not to mention, the tour was generous—SO much food! We were absolutely packed by the end, and every bite was delicious. Jessica was incredibly attentive and so fun to hang out with. We had great conversations, not just about food but about Japan and so much more. If you’re looking for a guide who’s passionate, knowledgeable, and just great company, Jessica is the one. Highly recommend!"

"Hiromi is such a Lovely Person We Head so much fun with her and it was super interesting. My boys 16 & 20 were also enthusiastic about the Time with hiromi "
