You owe it to yourself to book this experience. We were a party of three and he made us all feel inclusive in the experience. you'll learn a lot and do a lot as a part of making your own knife. While you won't be making your ow ln billet (it's not reasonable considering the time restraints) you will be making your knife and being very involved in the process from heating the metal and shaping it with a hammer and filing and polishing it. Hayamitsu sensei is patient, caring, helpful and encouraging all the way through. a thorough tier 1 experience. Also, my child of 10 years old also managed to make his own knife too with lots of guidance.

nice food and good service. Chef James cooks in front of us. He is very nice and kind. Food is tastey as you can see from the pictures.

We had an AMAZING TIME!!! Our tour guide was PHENOMENAL and so sweet. Forgive me, I cant remember her name. She was full of knowledge, and spoke perfect English! She went out of her way to make sure we understood everything. We went to 4 breweries tried some great flavors and had an opportunity to meet the legendary brew master with over 70+ years experience and is 88 years old, still working!! I highly recommend!!

We had such a wonderful experience, thanks to Kanako-san. She was incredibly helpful, warm, and welcoming from the very beginning. She is very approachable and made everyone feel comfortable throughout the tour. Kanako-san was also very detailed when sharing her knowledge about sake. We learned so much about the brewing process, flavors, and traditions, which made the experience even more meaningful. We visited three sake breweries, and each one offered something unique. The sake was smooth and delicious — truly enjoyable. She also recommended some great restaurants around Kobe, which we really appreciated. Overall, it was a fantastic experience, and we’re so glad we had Kanako-san as our guide. Highly recommended!

We love the tour so much and had a very excited experience in this trip. Just that the time for each stops is too short, but overall still acceptable. Our guide, Yuki is very talented with multilingual in Chinese, Japanese, Korean and English, friendly to answer all our questions patiently. We really enjoyed for this day trip.

Shunnavi was a patient and friendly guide, with plenty of experience. He was punctual and had great knowledge of Koyasan. He also recommended lunch for us which was a great recommendation. He even bought snacks for us.hope can join his tour next trip.

The meeting point was easy to find. A list of registered participants was posted on the door, allowing us to confirm our bus number directly. We then checked in with the tour guide who was on-site holding the list of tourists. Our guide, Xiao Bi, was excellent in managing time, and was incredibly meticulous, patient, enthusiastic, and friendly. He was a guide who made us feel completely at ease. Among the three attractions, Himeji Castle felt the most worthwhile for an extended stay. Just climbing through the castle itself takes at least 1-2 hours (depending on the crowd), and there's an exciting shopping street below the castle that we really wanted to explore. The allocated 4 hours for the entire visit was quite sufficient. My friend and I did not opt for the included lunch. We started touring the castle around 10:30 AM and left at 12:30 PM. Afterward, we quickly grabbed lunch and briefly browsed the shopping street. We walked through Koko-en Garden in about 10-20 minutes. Arima Onsen, though very famous, involved a rather winding mountain road that made me a little carsick. The footbath area was packed with people, so we ultimately chose to soak our feet in the cool stream, which was also very pleasant. The hot spring town felt a bit like Jiufen Old Street, great for browsing and shopping! The observation deck at Mount Rokko was very comfortable. We were lucky to have good weather, allowing us to clearly see Kobe and Osaka from Mount Rokko. We returned to Osaka around 6:30 PM, which still left us some time to explore the Namba commercial district. Overall, it was a very economical and worthwhile itinerary.

wonderful tour, enjoyed the walk around ikeda where the cup noodle museum is located, Arima town is beautiful , must wear sneakers for the long walk. Enjoyed all the activities, thanks to Junyoung our guide who snapped amazing photos for the group
