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 was a great guide! He was very knowledge and I learned a lot about Japanese culture and history. I am so glad that we did this tour before leaving Kyoto because it put many things we’d seen and experienced into context. I’ve done other walking tours that left me uninterested, bored or tired but I felt super engaged during the two hours - they really flew by! I would definitely recommend doing a tour with Kazu. Thank you!
Kazu was a great guide. He walked at a good pace and always faced his group when he spoke. He spoke loud enough and clearly. Would highly recommend this tour.
