Hello! My name is Kou. I was born and raised in Osaka, and I'm a female host who loves this city. In addition, I also work as a tour guide, and one of my pleasures is to go around Osaka's tourist spots with guests. Osaka is known as a city of "laughter" and "eat to your heart's content," but that's not all. History, culture, a variety of tourist spots, and the warmth of the people are also part of its charm. My greatest motivation is to convey the good points of Osaka to visitors as a tour guide and private lodging host. Sharing the charm through sightseeing with guests When visiting Osaka's tourist spots, I try not to just show you the places, but to include historical background and commentary from a local perspective. For example, at Osaka Castle, I will tell you the story of Toyotomi Hideyoshi and talk about the connection between his life and the development of Osaka. At Dotonbori, I will introduce not only gourmet spots but also how this area has developed. Visiting local hidden spots is also one of my specialties. By strolling through the shopping streets that still retain the atmosphere of the Showa era and enjoying meals together at an izakaya that only locals know, I provide my guests with an experience that is truly Osaka! My strength as a tour guide is that I can flexibly arrange plans to suit the tastes and interests of my guests. By touring tourist spots together, I can get closer to my guests, and it is easier to create an atmosphere where they can feel more relaxed even after returning to the private lodging. In addition, based on the guests' reactions during the tour, I can customize plans and food recommendations for their subsequent stay. In this way, I feel that the activities of tour guides and private lodging hosts can be integrated to make a trip to Osaka even more special. I learn a lot through interactions with my guests.
