Amazing guide- even in the heat

Rio was an amazing guide. We visited many sights on our first of two day tour. He accommodated our party in every way, from short stops, to elevators to showing us all the ins and outs and shortcuts we would have never known of on our own. I would highly recommend Rio when visiting Osaka, Nara and Kyoto.

Historical and fun!

Rio listened closely to our brief. We wanted to experience Osaka and hear about some hidden gems. He delivered exactly on brief and met us, took us on a journey through Osaka Castle and Osaka's busy Dotonburi district. Before he left us, he gave us some great restaurant tips and managed to fill a few special tastes in these recommendations. We were very happy with his suggestions. We have some great memories of our time on Rio's tour.

amazing day in kyoto

Rio was great! We used him for our family of 5 for a day of touring in Kyoto. Rio was very flexible and adjusted the day on the fly based on the weather and our interests. He is very knowledgeable and it made seeing the shrines and temples so much more interesting. He also has a great sense of humor. He took us to an amazing local Ramen place for lunch. We would definitely use him again.

Osaka : OLD & NEW Tour 6 hours

Osaka
6 hours

Firstly, you will visit Osaka Castle. The castle was built in the late16th century during the medieval ages. After learning about the Warring State Times in Japan, you will visit The Osaka Museum of Housing and Living to see and feel how the people in Osaka lived in the 1830s. On the contrary to visiting a few historic places besides Tenmangu Shrine as “Old”, we will visit Dotonbori Area, as “New”, representing modern times in the Southern part of Osaka.

Overnight trip to Mt. Koya from Osaka

Osaka

Mt. Koya is a very important part of the World Heritage site “Sacred Sites and Pilgrimage Routes in the Kii Mountains”. Mt. Koya is in Wakayama Prefecture and I used to work for Wakayama Prefectural Government as a general manager of Cultural Heritage Division and I was also in charge of the World Heritage Project. I know this sacred mountain very well. In this tour we will visit Mt. Koya and walk the Women's Pilgrimage
