The most wholesome tour of Osaka - We had a very good tour experience with our private guide Mr. Ichiro Ando. He met us in our hotel in the morning and then we walked from our Hotel to the nearest metro station on our first stop -
1. Osaka Castle - We covered the whole building - all the floors which have museum access. We learnt about different wars fought within Japan and how the imperial nation went through different changes in leadership.
2. Tenjinbashi Suji - Osaka's longest shopping street. Walking through this street is a big task since its ~3km walking street. Here there are a lot of shops selling seafood, clothes and everything you can think of. So a good pair of walking shoes will definitely help.
3. Tenmangu Shrine - Its a very peaceful shrine. Its common for students to visit this shrine and pray for scoring well in the exams.
Our guide explained the history about the castle and Japan very well with the help of photos. He engaged us with his good story telling ability. We had so many questions about and Japan and how its culture developed. He didn't mind our questions and Mr. Ando being 72 years young and proud of Japan, answered all our questions with boundless enthusiasm.
Thanks Ichiro. Hope to meet you soon.

Osaka in a 3- hour capsule - What better way than to see and get 1st hand tips during a 3- hour walking tour with Kao- chan. It was simply a snapshot with no tinge of haste, Kao- chan gave us an impressive performance of her guiding skills by ensuring that we understood what was said.
We were simply lucky that we , mother and son, were the only ones in the tour hence, a personalized one ! No time wasted. Worthy value!

Okini Osaka - Our tour guide Kaori was amazing and spoke good English. She took the time to explain things in detail about each location. In particular, she would answer any questions we had for her and if she didn’t immediately know the answer, would look up the answer herself and convey to us.
We only started to appreciate Japan after our experience with her on this tour.

Osaka Tour - The guide was patient and very helpful and the reason why 4 stars otherwise it would have been 2 stars! Tour stops were not as expected to be a tour of Osaka especially for the price but Hansin dept store stop was the best part.
