Hi, I'm Yusuke

I love walking and eating — which makes me the perfect Osaka guide. Having traveled solo to 14 countries, I know exactly what it feels like to explore a new place and crave a real local connection.

I left my career as a teacher to share the city I love with curious travelers from around the world. My goal is simple: make you feel like you're exploring Osaka with a friend, not a stranger.

With just five hours, you can experience the best of Osaka, from its iconic Osaka Castle to Abeno Harukas, offering breathtaking views from the highest point in Osaka.

Popular choices include the "classic route," which takes you from the vibrant Dotonbori to the tranquility of Hozenji Yokocho and the gourmet delights of Kuromon Market, and the "local route," which explores the retro Showa-era streets of Shinsekai and Namba Yasaka Shrine. Of course, you can also combine these to create your own personalized plan.

Why with Me?

Osaka is raw, real, and delicious. From the neon glow of Dotonbori to the quiet morning temples — this city rewards those who wander with a local.

My tours seamlessly blend the iconic sights with the unpolished daily life of my hometown. Let's capture great photos, chat along the way, and explore Osaka together—not as tourist and guide, but as old friends.

What Guests Say

★★★★★

"Felt less of a tour guide and more like a local friend."

Yusuke was a great guide. Was only in Osaka for a couple days and this tour was a great stress-free way to see a bunch of what Osaka has to offer. Having Yusuke just made it even better.
