Experience the best of
Osaka with Withlocals

"We had a very good day with Naoki, with a main focus on Japanese gardens, which is as we requested. Naoki also went ‘above and beyond’ helping us with our onward travel arrangements."

"Kalid was an excellent guide and host. Chatty and friendly and we were able to do everything we wanted to do, plus a bonus of lunch in a tiny local restaurant we wouldn’t have found by ourselves ."

"We unintentionally threw all kinds of curveballs at Max and he showed up with grace and aplomb to ensure we had the very best experience of our night in Osaka at every turn. He’s fantastic. No hesitation, we’d book him again. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Highly recommend."

"If I ever have the privilege and pleasure of returning to Osaka, Fay will be my first call. She was very knowledgeable about the city she loves and has a sparkling personality. She took us places we never would have found on our own and I really hope I have the chance to revisit them again someday, with Fay of course, because we didn’t have nearly enough time. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Don’t hesitate! Book Fay today. 🤩"

"Kalid was great! Very friendly, helpful and informative. Recommended him. "

"We had an absolutely wonderful experience with Simone exploring Osaka. From the very beginning he went out of his way to customize our tour to match exactly what we were hoping to see and experience. He seamlessly blended our requested highlights with hidden gems, taking us through local neighborhoods, off-the-beaten-path markets, and a vibrant locals only food market that we never would have discovered on our own. We loved every minute of it! Our visit to Osaka Castle was also truly memorable—he brought the history to life with fascinating insights into the different Japanese periods, making it both engaging and easy to understand. It felt like we weren’t just sightseeing, but truly connecting with the culture and history. What we really loved about Simone was how much he went above and beyond. He joined us for a delicious burger lunch that my husband was craving helping us navigate the local food scene for a charming spot and then even personally escorted us to the kitchen shopping district afterward. His thoughtfulness, generosity, and attention to detail made the entire day feel effortless and extra special. He was super fun, gracious, and incredibly knowledgeable, and he truly made our last day in Japan unforgettable. We couldn’t have asked for a better guide and would highly recommend him to anyone visiting Osaka!"

"Naoki was perfect. A lovely intro tour of Osaka to get our bearings. Just the right amount, with some delicious snacks along the way...we were delighted!"

"Max was a wonderful guide, who, having grown up in both Japan and England, speaks perfect English (I can’t really speak to his Japanese, but it seemed excellent!). He was incredibly helpful when we unfortunately left a bag on the subway, helping us navigate the train lost-and-found and the police, all resulting in the successful return of our bag! "

"We had a wonderful time exploring Osaka with Naoki. Thank you so much for being so flexible with our situation. We truly appreciated your kindness and understanding throughout the day. Our children had a great time, and that meant a lot to us. Naoki was very patient with them and knew exactly how to engage with kids in a calm and thoughtful way. His flexibility made the whole experience smooth and enjoyable for our family. We’re very grateful for the experience and would happily recommend him to other families visiting Osaka"

"Fay was delightful and showed us places in Osaka that we never would have seen on our own. We had a great time with her"
