Great guide, great tour
We met your gorgeous guide at the really busy street in Osaka and were immediately taken into a world of colour and tastes. Dannie shared her experiences of living in Osaka and told stories relating to things we saw all over the area, explaining the cultural significance of the temples, logos and various other images around. We tasted soo many foods- we weren’t huge fans of the octopus balls or the pickled fish but our feeling is you need to do it at least once, after all it’s all about the Japanese way of life! Otherwise you’d stay at home! Would really reconnect this tout.
