Reviews
this was such a wonderful tour. Kimu was our tour guide. he gave us great directions for our meeting place and was there early like us. we started our tour and he shared so much history with us! he even gave us recommendations for some great other spots to checkout on the rest of our time in Japan. if you have a chance, we highly recommend.
Amazing experience. Our guide was fantastic. Could not have asked for a more friendly and lovely guide. Gave us so much information and I felt it was really good value for money. It was a private tour so went at the pace we wanted to. While still making sure we saw everything.
We did a private tour with Kimu to the Osaka castle. He was a great guide - full of information and very easy to understand
Guide Kimu was incredibly kind and patient. They went above and beyond the expected time to answer questions and were truly dedicated to the tour, making it a very informative experience. The weather was very hot, and they seemed to be struggling a bit, so I hope they take care of their health. Kimu, you are the best!!!!!
Kimu was an amazing guide, he was very knowledgeable about Osaka Castles’ history and Japan itself. Would highly recommend!
I liked the experience we had with our guide Haru. It seemed to me that her plan for our Osaka Castle journey showed her considerate side. One may be tempted to power through all items on display, but we were able to take the route of least effort, view every item with additional explanation and taking rests in the middle. I regret that we turned down some of her suggestions, while feeling happy that she asked instead of forcing decisions upon us. The non-intrusive hospitality here was top-notch and shouldn't be downplayed. I felt like she was capable of offering much more than what we experienced, only for us to clarify beforehand what we would like to see to make magic happen. I'd recommend this trip anytime!
Guide was very knowledgeable and managed to get myself and one ther in the group through last the crowds in the hot Ōsaka summer. Not the best value given the cost, but valuable for those who hate the queues that go with museums and historical artifact tours.
Our guide Kimu was great! He taught us a lot about history and culture.
very good and worth it. highly recommend.
With a dedicated guide, you will understand more. Otherwise, I have come here three times and only took photos.
Good to know
Osaka Castle has been rebuilt three times throughout its history. Initially constructed by Toyotomi Hideyoshi in 1597, the castle was destroyed by fire during the Edo period. After being rebuilt, it underwent further modernization. The current castle tower was reconstructed in 1931 with a steel frame structure, providing enhanced earthquake resistance.
