Excellent walking tour - Highly recommended. We took the tour with Mulan. She speaks English very well and she asked us questions and kind of curated the tour according to our interests. She gave us so many tips and eating suggestions and was so helpful. We took back great memories of Osaka thanks to Mulan !!!!

Amazing day!! - I had a wonderful time exploring and learning about the rich culture and history of Osaka . Koyoko was a great guide who took time to answer questions and provide insights. She also made it quite fun and the 4 hours went before I knew it! The highlight of my tour was visiting the Buddhist temple and seeing the monk enter while we were there. I also found a beautiful antique Kimono jacket in the market which I will treasure !
