Keiko was our guide and she was great. We saw everything on the itinerary and she even found us an amazing ramen place as a last minute request.

Guide is very knowledgeable and personable and spoke English well. Most importantly he was flexible and swapped out the shrine for the Osaka History Museum that was so close by the castle. Very enjoyable.

Our guide Ichiro was fantastic! Because of the holidays the tower at Osaka Castle was closed which he informed of us in advance. So, he took us to the Kaiyodo Figure Museum which we really enjoyed and was fascinating! Ichiro was very knowledgeable about the history of Osaka Castle, and we learned a lot. We made a stop to Shinsekai shopping area and got lunch. Then, onto the Sumiyoshi Shrine where we learned about the culture and traditions
