we had a really excellent time making chopsticks! it was very fun and easy to follow. good balance of independence with giving help, and we could make our own design choices. the laser engraving was an extra fee, as were certain woods.

we had an excellent time - very informative on the history of cedar in the Nara prefecture, chopstick making techniques, and cultural insights. we also got great recommendations on places to eat and visit! our 12yo was very engaged and proud of his chopsticks.

Had the best time on the tour with our guide Valerie! who was informative, sweet and incredibly helpful. We were so stressed about squeezing in all of these attractions in the short time that we had and it was a great find stumbling upon this posting on klook. Not only did we manage to tick off all of our bucketlist spots but also learned little facts about each spot that we visited with the drive leading up to each attraction the best headsup in terms of background and what to expect when there. Valerie was very patient and accommodating with all of our little (sometimes stupid) questions and really made the day all the more memorable for us topping it off with the sweetest little parting gifts which we will travel home with and remember fondly of our experience here! Thank you so much for the wonderful experience.

I had such a fun day on the Kyoto and Nara tour today! It rained a little, but it didn’t stop me from enjoying all the places we visited. I especially had a great time in Nara — just be careful with the deer!
Our guide, Shine, was really kind, helpful, and well-organized. He always kept us updated about where and when to meet, which made the whole tour easy and enjoyable.
I really enjoyed the tour and would definitely recommend it!

this is a really good deal. got it for buy 1 take 1 promo yet the experience is as if i paid for two people. thank you Mike, our tour guide. i really appreciate the work that you’ve done and i am very impressed with how many language you could speak - it must be hard to say statements in three different languages but you pulled it off!

itinery suggests you will visit a number of locations yet you only have time for one desiltimation . The buddah is 3.6 kms from the lookout area not nearly enough time to undertake the walk

Huahua was a fantastic guide and made our day trip to Arashiyama Bamboo Forest, Nara Park and Fushimi Inari so enjoyable. He looked after all of us throughout the day, making sure we knew where to go, what to see, and the history and significance of each place. He kept us all together and on time while making everything feel relaxed and easy.
It was a beautiful day, made even better by having such a wonderful guide. We would highly recommend Huahua!

Our Kyoto experience were so amazing and fun. Thank you to Zoey for doing a fantastic tour for everyone. It’s been great and educational experience for us. Thank you also to our wonderful bus driver. Both these guys were amazing and friendly. We really appreciate them. This was really one of the highlights of our trip here in Japan. Congratulations Zoey! Good job!👏👍🇦🇺🇯🇵

Excellent 1 day trip to Kumano Kodo. Great way to experience from Osaka on a 13 hour trip, out of which there is 8 hours of driving from and back Osaka. No problem at all as the driving was safe and comfortable. The trip is fulfilling and well planned with sufficient time to visit but don't take your own sweet time taking photos. Yan Lei is an excellent guide and a great driver. Good communication on timing and plans. Made it back on time to Osaka despite it being the Mountain day and Obon week. Highly recommended. Good for solo, couples and family. Suitable for all with a wide coverage of languages.
