Fun in Osaka
Jeff_R, Apr 2024
Ichiro was a terrific guide. He showed us the Osaka castle, explained a lot of the history of Japan and it was really terrific. He also took us to the longest shopping street in Japan which was very nice and then we had a great tempora lunch. Ichiro then took us to a more upscale area. He really made an effort to educate us and answered all of our questions.
Wonderful 1 day tour of Osaka

Keiko-San was a fantastic tour guide and showed us all around Osaka Castle. She even tailored the itinerary to show us Dotomburi instead of longest shopping street when we mentioned we hadn’t been to Doromburi, and it was a wonderful tour.
Fun experience
