Definitely recommend - Yuta did a great job guiding me around Osaka castle and shinsekai market. He was super friendly and welcoming and had some really good food recommendations. He has some your options for other cities and will definitely be using him again when I come back.

Nice time spent in Osaka - Ideal places covered. We had Mito as a guide. She is a sweet girl and so helpful and patient. She took us to all the important spots and my son enjoyed the Japanese games she taught us. She will become an excellent guide with some more training as she is just a beginner- she wasn’t aware much about the place.
