Greetings from the Kansai region!
I'm Kazu, a passionate local eager to share the rich cultural heritage and hidden gems of both Osaka and Kyoto with you.
Having grown up in the vibrant neighborhoods of Umeda and the northern regions of Osaka, I have developed a deep appreciation for the unique charm and bustling energy of this city. My roots in Osaka run deep, but my love for exploration extends beyond its borders.
With fluency in English and a wealth of cross-cultural experiences from living and working abroad, I am well-equipped to guide you through the intricate tapestry of Japan's cultural landscape. Whether it's navigating the bustling streets of Osaka or exploring the serene temples of Kyoto, I am committed to providing you with an immersive and unforgettable experience.
Beyond sightseeing, I specialize in teaching Japanese language and culture, offering you the opportunity to learn and engage in meaningful cultural exchanges while savoring the essence of local izakayas.
Embark on a journey with me that goes beyond the guidebooks, where every moment is an opportunity for discovery and connection. Let's create unforgettable memories together in the heart of Kansai!
Kazu's tour is great if you like a fast-paced food tour of the city, but it's not good for much else aside from that. The tour is quite single dimensional and the stops are very infrequent. It's good for some people who enjoy a fast walk, but not those looking to explore the city and all it has to offer!
Kazu was considerate and patient and made our morning fun and informative.
Kazu was very friendly and knowledgable. He took us to lots of interesting sights around Kyoto and explained them well.
Had an amazing time on this tour! Would highly recommend to anyone. We even got to see a Geisha on our second stop!
