authentic cultural & food experience in Osaka
“Not a Tourist, But a Traveler”
Hello! We are Nagomi, a family based in the heart of Osaka’s countryside. Our family has a deep passion for sharing Japanese culture and hospitality with others. I ,personally love traveling and have visited over 20 countries. However, I often felt that I didn’t truly experience the local culture or connect with the people on a deeper level.
This tour is for those who want to experience Japan as a traveler, not a tourist. You’ll have the chance to connect with my family, explore our way of life, and experience Japanese hospitality firsthand. It’s not just about sightseeing, but about creating meaningful connections and truly understanding the culture.

TAKOYAKI class
