Guide Profile

Hello,
I've lived in Japan since 1989 and have always been based in Osaka. I speak and read Japanese and have a detailed knowledge of Osaka city and its landmarks, cultural spots, popular tourist locations and good restaurants etc..

I have also travelled quite extensively around the Kansai region and am quite familiar with Osaka's neighboring prefectures and what they have to offer.
Having lived in Osaka for 30 years I have made many friends (both Japanese and non Japanese) and have cultivated a fairly extensive network of contacts.

Since arriving in Japan I have always taken a keen interest in Japanese culture and especially the local culture of Osaka. I am very familiar with the extensive railway and subway network and also have a Japanese drivers license to get around.

I am confident that I can introduce an "Osaka" and a "Kansai Area" to visitors that a many people never knew existed!

Thank you!
