Hi there! Nice to meet you

Ricky

Hi! I'm Ricky, your passionate and friendly tour guide in Japan. Originally from Indonesia, I’ve called Osaka my home for the past 8 years. Fluent in English and conversational Japanese, I bring a blend of international perspective and local expertise to every tour.

My passion for exploring Japan has taken me to 26 of its 47 prefectures (that's 55%!), including conquering the nation’s highest peak, Mt. Fuji (3,776 meters). I thrive on discovering local gems – from hidden shops and unique cuisines to fascinating historical spots. One of my guiding principles is that every city tells its story through its food, so I love introducing travelers to local delicacies crafted with regional flair.

Whether you're a family, solo traveler, or group, I specialize in creating tailored itineraries that balance cultural exploration, culinary delights, and unforgettable experiences. Let’s uncover the beauty and charm of Japan together!

One of the highlights was visiting Mount Fuji, standing tall and majestic, surrounded by vibrant autumn colors. It was surreal to see this iconic peak in person! Ricky was incredibly kind and welcoming, always ready to help and share Japan culture. I will never forget him who patiently taught me the art of choosing the perfect gyu-katsu—delicious and fun!Golden Route

I cannot recommend Ricky enough for anyone planning a trip to Osaka, Fuji, and Tokyo! He went above and beyond to design an itinerary that perfectly suited every member of my family. From adventurous activities for the kids to serene spots for my parents to relax, every detail was thoughtfully planned. Ricky’s knowledge of local hidden gems and special dishes was incredible. He introduced us to flavors and meals we could have never found on our own, and every recommendation exceeded our expectations. His passion for creating memorable experiences truly shines through in everything he does. Thanks to Ricky, this was not just a trip but a lifetime memory for our family. If you’re looking for a personalized and unforgettable experience, Ricky is the one to callOsaka-Fuji-Tokyo Magical Christmas
