Excellent guide named Miyo. Her English was amazing and she answered so many questions during the course of our tour that 3 other previous guides did not answer fully. She took us to a fabulous place to eat. I would recommend this tour to all. IF you get Miyo for your guide you will be very fortunate!

Amazing tour and great recs. Learning about the history of Osaka and the difference of North and South was very informational. Thank you Ichi!

Mr Ichiro was a wonderful guide during my walk at Minoh Park. He was more like a fellow friend who came to the park together with me. We had a great time chatting and walking through nature. Thank you for the wonderful experience and I would highly recommend anyone to do the Minoh Tour with Mr Ichiro.

Ando Minako was a superb guide. We met her at 9 am and the visit was perfect. She gave us some great information and made it very interesting. Even our 12 years old twins loved it and had a great time. The castle was great and the rest of the tour. We also felt that it was just enough information and what we were looking for. We highly recommend Ando if you want to have a great visit.

I began planning our trip to Japan one year in advance, and had specific ideas about what attractions were most important to visit based on individual preferences. Though I reached out to more than five different touring companies, only All Star Osaka Walk was willing to accommodate our ‘dream list’ within the itinerary allowed time. Not only were we able to chose the schedule, but also our most desired guide, Kaori, whom I’d read stellar reviews from previous travelers on similarly ambitious city days. As anticipated, Kaori-chan was responsive, thorough, responsible, ethical, efficient, and kind. What we couldn’t have predicted was how warm and caring she would be, attending to all of our needs (down to providing a hand drying cloth at temple restrooms and even sharing her favorite snacks and electrolyte drops during these very hot summer days in Japan). We knew we were truly in the best of care as she led us through the beauty and majesty of Kyoto and Osaka. Each night at dinner, our son revived the many lessons Kaori-chan had filled our days with, from history and social, spiritual, cultural foundations and the meaningfulness of traditions and rituals in Japan. She was always gentle and encouraging with her teaching, providing insight in an engaging manner that everyone could grasp and find personally relevant. Not only did we see so much in two days, but we expanded our hearts and minds by choosing to share our limited time on this trip with Ms. Kaori. I’d most strongly encourage you to consider the same. There could not have been a better way to travel through the dense beauty of Kyoto and Osaka for our family. With gratitude, we will always remember these dream filled days. Thank you, All Star Osaka Walk! 🩷

We didn’t enjoy our walk and it wasn’t what we expected. There were only 4 of us and Rika didn’t check what we might be interested in. Too long at Osaka Station, the garish Dontonburi area was plastic, the ‘tasting restaurant’ was dirty. We did enjoy walking through the old Geisha / theatre alley way and seeing the little Shinto & Buddist Temple/Shrine. Wouldn’t recommend, sorry Guide Rika.

This was an interesting tour. We definitely saw parts of Osaka we would not have visited on our own. It gave us a completely different feel for the city than we would have taken away from the standard tourist spots. Our guide was pleasant, informative, and definitely loved her city.

We really enjoyed our tour. The guide was very informative and knowledgeable and we learned much about the city. We would definitely recommend.

Kaori ran a very good tour. while the weather was not good, Kaori showed us a lot of Osaka and provided insights on the history and the great food available. we highly recommend this walking tour as a great introduction to what Osaka has to offer.

Minako was an absolute gem. She guided us effortlessly and kindly through her beautiful city and booked an amazing lunch. A true pleasure start to finish!

A great way to get oriented in Osaka, both with history, where the yummy food is, and learning about the difference and etiquette of Shinto shrine and Buddhist temple. So good to be able to ask lots of questions as we walked. Guides were great!

Last year had an Osaka private tour with Kaori and enjoyed very much. This year Kyoto trip, we requested Kaori to be our tour guide again. She prioritised places we interested to visit most, briefing us the history of each site we visited. At the end of the tour, she would suggest the places that we can visit on our own. Very helpful. Too bad we have not enough time to spend one more day with her.

We went at 4 PM and nobody was there! Wait for the tour buses to leave and it’s all to yourself. It’s beautiful and the hike is easy. One of my favorite things we did in Osaka. Pair it with the noodle company to make your own ramen and swim in the onsens at the resort at the top of the hill!

Really enjoyed the walking tour - the guide was friendly and showed us things that we did not expect. Great morning would highly recommend

Mr Ichiro Ando a.k.a. Ichi san of "All star Osaka" is a real gentleman and took my wife and I on a lovely morning walk to the beautiful Minoh waterfall, just outside Osaka. The pace was relaxed and the scenery was beautiful, making this hike a pleasant escape from the city. It was "sakura", so we were lucky to get to see the cherry trees in full blossom. The hiking trail passes through temples and shrines and is almost three kilometers-long. The walk is very easy, the fall itself is cozy and romantic. On the way back, Ichi san took us to lunch at this lady's place where we had delicious home-made food, sharing smiles and courtesies with the owner. We strongly recommend this 5-hour tour!
