You’ll join one of our hosts as they help you to get comfortable in Osaka - we know it can be daunting when you don’t speak the language and you have no idea what those signs on the subway say! You’ll feel like you’re being welcomed into the city by a friend who can’t wait to show you their energetic city and find your feet. Depending on what you’d like from your time together, they could take you to see some famous attractions, explore the area where you’re staying and get recommendations, or just enjoy a walk and see where your feet take you! Within 24 hours after booking you'll receive a short questionnaire about your personality and interests. Based on your responses, you'll be assigned a like-minded host. Your host will communicate with you directly to suggest an itinerary to help you discover what makes the city unique. You will also agree on a meeting time and place. Your itinerary is flexible, so during the experience, you can always change your mind about what you want to do

Our guide Haruhi was very nice and told us a lot about specific characterics from Osaka. We tried Okonomiyaki, Takoyaki and Kushikatsu which was all very tasty. She also showed us some secret passages in Osaka and gave us tips where we could spend time Osaka on our next days. The only thing that I was missing was to try out some other foods that are maybe not too known too. But in overall we had a lot of fun!

Signed up for the 3:30 PM "middle" tour. Would have been cool to do the evening tour to see the city lit up at night, but we had dinner plans. The "danger" with the mid-afternoon tour is that if it were hot/humid/sunny, it'd be pretty miserable in the costume. That being said, we had overcast skies with comfortable temps, so we both costumed up in Donald and Daisy Duck like costumes. Obtained our driver's license thru AAA in the US. (Just be sure to bring it! - we left ours in our hotel safe and forgot and had to hustle back to the hotel) Quick video and model tutorial then hands on tutorial with the cart. We felt safe the entire time. No need to take pictures as both guides take videos and photos throughout and post them later. Even stopped at Dotonburi to get out of the cart and take pictures at the sign. Even though these tours are daily they still turn heads from on-lookers/pedestrians.

While we were sad to have to cancel our July trip to Japan due to the pandemic, we found the process of working with Japan Awaits to be easy and efficient. I can't speak to the full experience since we weren't able to go, but filling out the form and our communication with the company was no problem. And their prompt and courteous response to our request for a refund speaks to their professionalism. We will definitely come back to ask for their help in procuring tickets to the Studio Ghibli Museum when we do finally make it to Japan! Fingers crossed for next summer.
