Coisas para fazer em Mount Hiei

The entire itinerary was excellent, and we're very grateful for tour guide Xiao Liu's dedication and kindness. The detailed explanations of Sanzen-in Temple, Lake Biwa, and the Baumkuchen factory were particularly engaging and down-to-earth.

这是一次内容丰富的旅行。感谢刘分享知识。寺庙如此宁静，让我想住在那里😁 Baum工厂的蛋糕太美味了💯

Absolutely amazing! Really fun hands-on experience to create a meaningful souvenir (and feel like a ninja for a few hours).

素晴らしい方法で、一日で多くの異なる寺院を見ることができました。超観光地から離れて、静かで穏やかな時間を過ごし、日本の文化と歴史を学ぶことができて良かったです。貴船神社への交通手段も非常に簡単でした。ケーブルカーからの景色は、どの季節でも美しいでしょう。私たちは2月末に訪れ、晴れた日で枝は裸でしたが、他の季節には非常に混雑するだろうと想像できました。

The ride was late because the previous passengers were late. It was our driver Meng Fanzhe's first time visiting these locations. There was no guide or introduction for the locations.

My wife and I had the best tour of our lives with our guide, Tom-sensei. He went above and beyond to show us the hidden gems of Kyoto. He took time and effort to explain the history and culture at each of the sites. Tom-sensei made us feel welcomed and respected. Tom-sensei helped translate and mediate during our shopping / touristy activities. The next time we come back to Kyoto we will request Tom-sensei for a tour again!

This was a phenomenal experience. Expect a lot of sweat and sore muscles after this, but it is so worth it. You start by choosing what kind of knife you want to make, then head down to the forge where the guides show you how to beat the heated metal to expand it into your knife. They help you through the process (my partner was fine, but I needed a bit more help as I don’t really have any wrist or arm muscle and got tired pretty quick) and help shape it into your desired knife. You’re there for an hour to an hour and a half, then sand your knife down to the perfect shape and sharpen the blade (which I loved). The guides tell you how traditional knives used to be made before the sanding belts they have now, and you get the full experience. The guides were amazing, gave the perfect amount of guidance, and helped with the final steps to make sure your knife was the best it could be. Shout out to Mits and Deiki! I would absolutely do it again, and highly recommend the experience!

Tour guide Casper explained everything very clearly and was very enthusiastic about helping everyone take photos. The itinerary was relaxed, the scenery was pleasant, and it was a happy day.
