Real Japan, no crowds: a home visit in Hiroshima 200-Year-Old Japanese house
Escape the tourist trail and spend a day in a peaceful valley near Hiroshima, where only locals live. This is not a museum but the guide's own home. In a 200-year-old Japanese house(Kominka), you'll experience real, everyday life- tatami rooms, local food, forest bathing and interaction with local children. As a rice farmer, I will share with you the slow countryside rhythms. No shops and no crows- just authentic Japanese life. You are welcomed not as a tourist but as a guest in our home.

“Fabulous day in Osaka ”
Every thing that’s planned was perfect, all to schedule. Just made for a wonderful day.
/filters:strip_exif()/fit-in/160x160/filters:quality(50)/gowithguide/profiles/80466/d66e7dc5-1de8-450c-af34-0b31639b7a1e.png)
Akira F.
Thank you very much for your message. I’m so happy to hear that you enjoyed our Osaka tour. Although our time together was short, it was truly wonderful. We were able to complete everything as planned and make the most of the time we had. Even though you needed to return to the ship and the schedule was tight, I’m glad we could provide the best possible experience within the limited time. Thank you again, and I sincerely hope we will have another opportunity to meet and explore together in the future.

“Day 2 tour with Akira - Excellent”
Day 2 tour with Akira - Excellent We manage to see (1) Fushimi Inari Taisha, (2) Ginkakuji (Silver Pavilion), (3) Kiyomizudera Temple, (4) Hokanji Temple (Yasakanotou Pagoda), (5) Gion. Along Gion street, Akira also taught us how to see which resturant will have Geisha performance by seeing the lantern light on/off. Yes! We are lucky to see Geisha! And if you like to go for local food that only local people go, Akira know all the local hidden food area. Leave it to Akira to plan for lunch!
