I highly recommend this experience to anyone interested in the art of sword forging. It will be a lifelong treasure, both in reality and in memory! 🔨 Instructor/Communication: No Japanese language skills are needed. The instructor uses translation software to explain and communicate throughout the process, ensuring you understand the sword forging procedures. The instructor is very kind and professional, providing ample emotional support, leaving you not only with a wealth of knowledge but also a strong sense of accomplishment. 🔨 Experience: You might notice that the shape of the sword we made differs from those of other visitors. This is because we emailed the instructor in advance to discuss the desired shape (we planned to make the handle ourselves at home). The instructor confirmed it was possible and prepared a customized sword blank for us on the day, also adding steps to create a blade pattern. Participating in the complete process and crafting the sword in our minds step by step was incredibly moving. (The above-mentioned additions to the itinerary were agreed upon with the instructor for an additional fee.) 🔨 Time: Because there were two of us, and we had an extra-cost itinerary, we spent about 7 hours there (including breaks). The instructor guides each group individually before moving on to the next, so if you come as a group, estimate that it may take a little longer than the time stated on the website.

Beyond the City: A Kyoto Day Trip to Remember Forget the usual Kyoto sights! Karin led us on an unforgettable journey to Amanohashidate, Ine Boathouses, & Miyama Thatched Village. This tour offers a unique perspective on Kyoto, showcasing its stunning seaside and mountain landscapes. A must-do for those seeking something different!

I got many experiences and can feel natural adventures.Additionally I got chance to practice Chinese conversation and commmunicate with Chinese people.

though no guide whatsapp the day before the tour on meetup time and place; just go per klook iterniary meetup point. guide is super informative and knows the castle history very well. but do be prepared to climb the stairs up the castle. the tempura set is super value for money.

I'm very grateful to our guide, Hanazawa, for being willing to run the tour even with a small group! We departed from Osaka at 7:00 AM sharp, and the meeting point was clear and easy to find. The pace of the entire tour was perfectly managed. Hanazawa accompanied us throughout the journey, and was not only friendly and enthusiastic but also a great photographer, capturing the perfect angles so everyone could create lasting memories. He also carefully explained the origins of the names of the various Oji shrines, adding depth to the mountain trail. The route from Hosshinmon-oji to Kumano Hongu Taisha Shrine was very accessible, with flat and easy paths along the way. The last stop was a local favorite foot spa, which soothed our tired feet after walking seven kilometers, bringing the trip to a perfect end. Overall, it was a fulfilling and therapeutic experience, and I highly recommend taking a day trip to the mountains when visiting Osaka!

We had the best experience on my one-day tour of Kobe. From the pick-up to the drop-off, everything was smooth and stress-free. Our driver and guide, NickLee, was amazing. He was so helpful, showed us exactly where to go, and guided us through the city with ease. NickLee pointed out different buildings, shared stories, took us through the mountains, and taught us so much about Kobe’s history and culture. Thank you for making our Kobe tour so amazing — from showing us around with so much knowledge and enthusiasm, to sharing stories and pointing out all the cool buildings and mountain views. You made the whole day a fun, memorable adventure. We really appreciate you, NickLee! Kobe itself was incredible—beautiful views, great atmosphere, and such a fun experience overall. We honestly had the best day. Highly recommend this tour!

Amazing experience! The Kobe Port Ferris Wheel Hot Spring Night View Day Tour was absolutely wonderful. Our guide, Mathew, was exceptional — friendly, knowledgeable, and very attentive throughout the trip. He explained everything clearly, took great care of the group, and made the whole experience smooth and enjoyable. The itinerary was well-planned, giving us enough time at each stop, and the night view was truly stunning. The transfer was comfortable and perfectly on schedule. Highly recommended! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I’d like to commend our tour guide named Simon. He can speak, English, Japanese, and Chinese which helped our diverse group that day. He was also flexible with our schedule and gave us ample time to explore each site.

this is the very first time that we booked this kind of service. this is aint cheap but worth the money. the driver is professional and on time. he picked us up from our hotel and drop us again in the same location in the evening. the vehicle is clean and comfortable. we communicated to the driver via viber. we really enjoyed this day in Kyoto and Nara. i will booked this again the next time I have guests who wanted to visit Kansai.
