Nara Prefecture

My partner and I had a really great experience with Edward on this photoshoot. When we requested to take photos away from the Kyoto crowds, he thoughtfully suggested to do a photoshoot at a nearby garden instead where it was much more quieter. This made us more comfortable and confident during the shoot. Also he provided katana and umbrella props upon request, which was pretty sick!! :D

An immersive and highly enjoyable experience. The host is very good at explaining the deep concepts and meticulous procedures of both matcha preparation and the tea ceremony. We greatly enjoyed both the experience and the sweets reserved for us. The host speaks excellent English and immediately puts you at ease. We were also fortunate enough to meet one of the few artisans in Japan who produce matcha whisks. Very helpful also in giving advice on places to visit and shops where to do tastings or purchases. We also learned how to make matcha tea with our own hands. Great experience

amazing udon making experience!!! so kind and accommodating

Masaki-san and company are incredible. Extremely knowledgeable and more importantly, enthusiastic about Nara and everything Nara has to offer. Masaki-san, Mike-san and the guesthouse owner were all the perfect amount of friendly, warm, educational and funny. Highly recommend to add to your Nara experience.

Had a session in Nara early December with the family. Enjoyed the session very much. Photographer was easy to deal and easy-going. He showed us around Nara park. Went to the less populated area and the deers where gentler. The photographers gave us easy guide and instructions. Overall a very pleasant experience!

Our tour guide (Theodore Chen) is great for the job. Humorous and makes the trip very interesting, telling facts about Japan better than my school! The instructions were clear. The option to drop off at Kyoto — which we did — was great, so we didn't have to sped extra money coming to Kyoto from Osaka.

I recommend this trip for those with limited time during their Osaka visit. It’s a wonderful way to see three popular tourist spots in just one day. We started from Dotonburi at 8am and returned around 6:30pm. You’ll get about 2 hours to explore the Arashiyama area, 1 hour in Nara, and over an hour at Fushimi Inari Shrine. Just a heads-up: be punctual so you don’t miss the tour, which leaves without you if you're late. Be sure to plan your day wisely. We managed to squeeze in a quick lunch in Arashiyama since there wouldn’t be time to eat at the other spots.

This was my first time doing a Kyoto tour, and I'm extremely satisfied! It was a tour that will leave many lasting memories. Our guide was incredibly kind, explained everything so well, and made it easy to understand, which I really appreciated. Unlike some other tours where guides can be a bit stiff, our guide was very friendly and even recommended nearby restaurants, which was wonderful. I feel like I learned a lot more about Japan through this tour! If I get the chance again, I'd love to meet Guide Oh Seok-bong again! It was such a fun and informative time! I highly recommend it! You won't regret this tour. Guide Oh Seok-bong, I wish you even greater success!!!

the trip is memorable and cover most of the place in kyoto. The only downside for this tour as the itininery os very compact .you will need to take lunch on the go ( in the bus ) if you want to finish all the intinery . Nothing to complaint .The only negative point for this tour is the tour guide didn't have whatsapp and he didnt whatsapp us to confirm the trip . Tip: should skip the bridge and straight go to bamboo forest / skip lunch
