What we'll do

Sumiyoshi Grand Shrine located in Sumiyoshi ward in Osaka city is one of Japan’s oldest shrines and headquarter of two thousand Sumiyoshi shrines in Japan. The shrine is called “Sumiyoshi-san” by Osaka residents and is famous for the great number of worshippers paying their first visit on New Year’s Day.
The shrine is famous for its unique drum-shaped bridge and square-shaped pillars of the gate.
It was founded in the third century by Empress Jingu after she made a successful travel overseas.
She made a return visit here and enshrined three different brother deities. Later she was enshrined too.
So many people have paid their visits to wish for their safe voyage, success in business, safe baby delivery and healthy life.
As an Osakan I will introduce my favorite shrine "Sumiyoshi-san" now.
Sachiko will introduce you several unique spots which are not visited in an ordinary tour

Full of fun, and full of power will be provided in the live tour.
If you need a strong wish to be stronger, richer, and happier, choose my tour.
Every wish will be met with me.

Osaka Lover,

My most precious memory was when a tour group member was brought to tears by the view, exclaiming that Japan had such beautiful landscapes. Until that point, I had taken the views for granted but when she said that, it changed my life and I could experience the beauty of Japan with others. And I want to share that with you! Being from Osaka, I have been a guide for 12 years. My passion in life is sharing my knowledge of Japan and give people a meaningful experience. I handle private or group tours in Kansai or long tours covering from Kyoto to Tokyo (Hiroshima, Himeji, Kobe, Osaka, Mt.Koya, Nara, Sirakawago, Kanazawa, Takayama, Nakasendo, Mt.Fuji, Tokyo etc.).; bus group tours of up to 40 people or walking tours up to 20 people from various countries. My private tour includes unbeaten tracks, sometimes introducing them the tea ceremony, flower arrangement, Japanese calligraphy and picture drawing. I love experiencing the same views over and over again, yet having a new experiencing every time! And on top of that, the communication with local people! I also work as a guide for JICA trainees from all over the world. My motto as a tour guide is to share the true pleasure of tours and treasure the moment together.
