Osaka Museum of Housing and Living tours

We had the most amazing personalized tour in Osaka, thanks to our incredible guide, Yoshi — “Yosh”! From the moment we met him, he was so fun, friendly, and welcoming that we instantly felt like part of his family. We’re an English-speaking family traveling with a teenager and a 10-year-old, and Yoshi made the entire day enjoyable for all of us. He was wonderfully patient and happily answered every question we had. Yoshi took us to Osaka Castle and guided us through the beautiful grounds, then brought us to an unforgettable market experience (truly amazing!). We explored Dotonbori, enjoyed a delicious sushi lunch at a restaurant we picked randomly (it was delicious), and ended our day at the Osaka Municipal Housing Museum, which was surprisingly lovely. If you're looking for a guide who’s knowledgeable, warm, great with kids, and genuinely invested in making your day special, Yosh is the one. Our time with him was a highlight of our trip — highly recommended!

I was worried that it would be canceled because there was a forecast for rain yesterday and today in Osaka, but luckily it didn't rain while the bus was running, which was nice. They provided blankets, but it was a bit cold. The bus seats were very close together, and the Japanese couple behind me talked so loudly that my ears started bleeding. Japan has the same time zone as Korea, but the sun sets much earlier. At first, I tried to book the 7:10 bus, but it wasn't available, so I chose the 5:10 bus. It would have been even colder if I had chosen the 7:10 bus. The Midosuji lighting was pretty.

We booked a child seat, and the kids were very happy. They slept comfortably in the child seat, which saved us parents a lot of effort. It's especially suitable for families with babies.

I like the tour arrangement without rushing us. There have enough time for us to explore the tourist place. Although when the time we arrive murodo, it's raining. But stil can enjoy the view. Highly recommend the trip. It's worth.

great place to see snow and the lights illuminations... but just to take note it's a 2.5 hours drive from Osaka station and 2 hours back..you'll hv around 7 hours there. first stopover is lunch..Sorry for Muslims..there is NO HALAL food at the stopover and also at BOTH locations too. So you need to bring your own food.. No 7/11 No Family Mart or Lawson. so take note.Youll hv 1.5 hrs plus for snow.. but just for viewing n pics...for kids..not advisable as you'll be rushing back ...for illuminations.. during the winter months..not much flowers outside..during sakura seasons will be nice but it will be SuPer duper heavy human traffic... other than that ok.

What a great experience. First, Our tour guide, Irikawa Emiko was really amazing. She's very accommodating, really kind & has good knowledge. She took care of us very well. She did know what she's doing and really know what we need. The tour and itinerary was spot on. We were always on time but we're not rushing. It was so organize and so fun.

This tour was so tiring maybe because we had a tour the previous day. Kimi out tour guide is so nice and pleasant always smiling and approached everyone. We alk to the Umeda sky building. The lunch is not so good, its a Western meal. We enjoyed the rivercruise and after that we opted not to join the Osaka Castle tour. We just waited for my son to come back.

The tour was a great way to explore Osaka. We booked the tour for our first full day in Japan. It helped having someone show us how to use underground transport. We also got to sample some of the unique food when we visited the seafood market. I would recommend this tour. Our tour guides were fantastic. They helped us out in so many ways. They were the best tour guides I have ever encountered. They made us feel like we were exploring with friends.
