Wonderful walking tour with our guide, Tea. He's very engaging and set a comfortable pace for the tour. Other than the beautiful sights of the Bamboo Forest and Temples, a wholesome traditional vegan lunch was also arranged.
I highly recommend this tour! Tea was our tour guide, he was very friendly and informative of all the places we visited. He took us to very beautiful locations. The lunch was a great experience.
My guide, ☆Kana San☆ was a local guide who spoke fluent English and had a deep understanding of history and culture. She was super friendly and kind. I'm really grateful for the fun time she showed me. ほんとありがとうございました:) Also, the whole trip was really well-organized and I enjoyed it a lot. It was such a fulfilling and healing experience for 5 senses. If I get the chance, I’d definitely bring my family back to experience it again.
Great tour! Tea, a young Japanese tour guy gave us interesting and informative guide. We visited many gardens and temples, banboo forest and Kimono Forest! We enjoyed the traditional Japanese food as well as special Japanese coffee with snacks! Luckily, we even had chance to see the beautiful cherry blossom! We love to come back see to visit in Autumn! Many thanks to Tea!
