An amazing experience. Interactive artworks and installations that evoke emotion, thought, and a sense of wonder. We spent three hours there. The venue itself is well-designed and high-quality, with restrooms and vending machines on every floor. Highly recommended.

we were able to find this shop fairly easily with an A-frame sign at the entrance. The area is a shared space with a few other craft workshops as well. There’s a restroom you can use once you are up the stairs. Elvie was our instructor. She gave very good instructions and demonstrations as well as helped with some finishing touches to our chopsticks. They have several types of wood you can upgrade to ranging from 4000 to 8000 yen. There are 3 types that we got to choose from that were already included with the price. I chose the Taiwan Cypress and my brother chose Hinoki. We opted for the optional laser engraving for an additional 1000 yen and it was well worth it! Such a great experience! a lovely souvenir to take back home. I will for sure be using them!

I had a great day in Kyoto! The itinerary was great and we managed to do and see so many things in one day. All of the activities were amazing and things i wanted to see and it was all really well organised and easy. I went as a solo traveller and if you’re looking for an easy day trip to Kyoto with no stress about transport and creating an itinerary then i highly recommend this tour!!! Our tour guide was great and super helpful and informative. Thank you :))

This was a wonderful and unforgettable trip! Highly recommended for travelers who want to deeply explore the natural scenery around Kyoto and traditional Japanese culture. Visiting Amanohashidate, the Ine Funaya, and Miyama-cho all in one day, each attraction offered completely distinct characteristics. The natural landscape of Amanohashidate was stunning, the Ine Funaya was filled with a serene and charming fishing village vibe, and Miyama-cho's thatched-roof village let us experience the unique charm of traditional Japanese countryside. The entire tour was rich and fulfilling, and being able to appreciate such diverse Japanese scenery all at once was truly worth it! Special thanks to our tour guide today, Theodore Chen! His leadership made the whole journey even more enjoyable and allowed us to gain a deeper understanding of the history and culture of each spot. A great guide really adds so much value to a trip, turning sightseeing into more than just taking photos for check-ins, creating much deeper memories instead. If you want to escape the hustle and bustle of the city and enjoy Japan's unique natural landscapes, traditional architecture, and rustic rural scenery, I highly recommend this tour! Whether it is your first time visiting Kyoto or you want to explore a different side of it, it is well worth joining.

Last time, I visited Kiyomizu-dera Temple and Fushimi Inari Shrine in Kyoto, so this time I went to places I hadn't seen before. It was just before a long holiday, so there weren't many people, and it was wonderfully peaceful and quiet! When you actually see it, it's not so much 'Wow, that's amazing!' but rather beautiful scenery, the path you walk while admiring that scenery, various photos taken at photo spots, and an unexpected seagull zoo feeding (making eye contact with seagulls and hawks). I didn't have high expectations, but it was fun! The only downside is that the travel time is a bit long if you depart from Osaka! However, our guide, MICA, explained many things about Japan so well and took such beautiful photos that I even changed my KakaoTalk profile picture for the first time in a while! 😄

Amazing experience for us family of 4!We had a wonderful time at the Onsen ,you have choices of using the indoor or outdoor jacuzzi ,although we preferred the outdoor open air bath .You have a close encounter with nature and it was such rejuvenating.The facilities is well equipped and there is a nice restaurant serving local sumptuos dishes.We will definitely do it again next time we go back to Japan.
