Guide's Recommended Points

We'll guide you through Umeda Sky Building, highlighting its best viewpoints and providing a geographical overview of the area. For Namba and Shinsaibashi, which are large areas, we'll optimize the route based on your purpose (shopping, food tours, sightseeing). We'll choose times and routes that minimize crowds, prioritizing ease of walking. Osaka offers many sights beyond the main keep, including the Ishigaki, gates, and turrets, so we'll provide a concise and easy-to-understand explanation. We'll prioritize photogenic spots and places that offer high satisfaction even in a short time. The drop-off location can be adjusted within Osaka City, allowing for flexibility to accommodate your next plans.

Self-Introduction

Welcome to Japan! And thank you for visiting my country, far-eastern islands all the way from your country.

I'm Yuri. As a kimono shop owner since 2005, which has traded worldwide, I have been dedicated to introduce Japanese culture. It has been a great pleasure of mine to explore and share the cultural differences and similarities in the world.

Not only I guide you in wonderful sites here, but also I would love to share a real life in Japan. I am a mother of 2 young-adult daughters and I love dancing, especially pair dancing such as ballroom dancing, Salsa, Bachata and so.

We spend only 1 day together in our life in Japan, but it will be a fun day. As an Osaka person, I love laughing together – Osaka is famous for comedy. If you can take me as a 1-day local travel companion, I'm sure you will feel more at home than a tourist in a new place.

See you soon!
