We had such a wonderful experience on our Osaka food tour! It was the perfect balance of food, culture and conversation. Our guide, Miyo was incredibly warm, friendly, and knowledgeable. Every stop felt thoughtfully chosen, with a great mix of local specialties and hidden gems we never would have found on our own. The bonus tea tasting was such a special touch and ended up being one of the highlights of the day — relaxing, beautifully presented, and full of interesting cultural insights. Miyo took the time to translate and explain everything without ever making the experience feel rushed. What truly made the experience unforgettable, though, was Miyo herself. By the end of the tour, it genuinely felt like we had made a friend for life. Her kindness, enthusiasm, and personal connection made the entire day feel so meaningful and special. Thank you!
Yuka was SO LOVELY!! The food tour was one of our favorite parts of our trip and it was absolutely because of Yuka and her expertise and attention to detail. She went above and beyond for us. Can’t share enough praise for her!
