Reviews
the itinerary was great but the whole thing felt a bit rushed. we started at a traditional samurai house which was gorgeous and tranquil, though busy. then we went to kenroku-en gardens but I would have liked to stay longer to really look around. the last stop was to hirashi chaya, a lovely traditional part of the city with wooden stores with wooden slat work. would suggest maybe finishing the tour here and leaving people to have dinner in this district. being only an afternoon tour, the schedule was tight for those who like to wander.
