This is our third visit to the Animal Kingdom. It was quite busy and some animals were not on display however we got to see some feedings and the new young Capybara.

Mr. Yang was awesome. As a solo traveler, I felt safe and guided with his instructions. Arashiyama was a bit confusing at first, he assisted by walking me to the entrance and during lunch time recommended some spots. We communicated via goggle translate without a problem. If you are short on time and what to discover some landmarks at once -10/10 recommend, hassle free and way to take advantage of a full day schedule at your pace by beating the crowds.

there are signs everywhere from the subway line to the herb garden. the garden is pleasant and well maintained. would recommend the roundtrip ropeway tickets if you like to spend time taking photos of the flowers and landscape. the ropeway brings you up to the top of the hill and you make your way down to the first station to take the ropeway back to the ground level.

The staff is able to help in English. The have device that interprets video footages in English too. Every display in the gallery makes me sad thinking how devastating the earthquake was and how it took not one but a lot of lives.

Absolutely amazing walking tour of the local Sake brewery’s. Highly recommend taking the day trip out to trying this tour. Our guide was extremely well traversed in both English and the Sake making experience and was able to answer all questions. experience: The Sake itself at the brewery’s was amazing, to be able to try the different style of Sake’s available and understand the different tastes due to making styles was really well explained.
