Osaka Food Walking Tour with Nako - The walking tour was fantastic, highly recommend.
Our guide was Nako and she showed us around, stopping at different places for us to try food. We saw popular and more local spots. The 2 hours went very quickly and I wish it was longer. Nako was friendly, knowledgeable and we had a great group, laughing and enjoying our time together. Osaka atmosphere is incredible and i’m so glad we did this tour on our first night as now we have many different food spots saved to try on the remainder of our trip.

Wonderful evening with Mao! - I had a wonderful experience walking around Dotonbori with Mao! Since I was the only participant we could talk a lot and she told me a lot of things about Osaka and Japan in general. It felt less like a guided tour and honestly more like hanging out with a friend, it was great!
The streets were crowded at first but after we saw the tourist spots, she showed me more niche places which was really interesting and a new experience.
Thank you so much for the wonderful evening, I had a really good time!

Osaka’s Awesome Nightlife District Walking & Local Food Culture Tour with amazing Ami as our tour guide - This evening I joined the Osaka: 2-Hour Nightlife District Walking & Local Food Culture tour, and it was nothing short of amazing! Our guide, Ami, was the absolute star of the night. She wasn’t just knowledgeable — she brought Osaka’s history and culture to life with energy, humor, and passion. Every stop felt like a hidden gem she had personally unlocked for us.
Ami went above and beyond to make sure everyone felt comfortable and engaged. She answered every question with insight, shared fascinating stories about the city, and gave us insider tips on where to find the best local food. Thanks to her, my daughter discovered the crab bao — and she loved it so much it became the highlight of her evening!
What impressed me most was Ami’s warmth and genuine care. She made us feel like we were exploring Osaka with a friend who knows all the secrets of the city. Her enthusiasm was contagious, and it turned a simple walking tour into an unforgettable experience.
I cannot recommend Ami highly enough. If you’re visiting Osaka, do yourself a favor and book a tour with her. I’ll definitely be using this tour service again and will be recommending Ami and the tour company she works for to all my friends.

Dotonbori Night Tour - We had a great tour of the Dotonbori with Ukyo today, he took us off the beaten track and showed us down some alleys and into a quieter area that we wouldn’t have otherwise noticed. We ended up going back to a yakitori restaurant that he had recommended for an excellent meal.
