Review for: Walking tour

We had a wonderful time on this tour, our guide was very friendly and very knowledgeable of the Yanesen area. I would highly recommend this tour for anyone that wants to experience a little more of Japan’s culture in a much less crowded setting. Plus the local food on this tour was amazing!
