“Great Tour To and Through Gujohachiman”
The tour itself was a nice mix of relaxation, walking, and a small hike to Gujohachiman castle. The silk screen printing was also a very fun and simple experience. But of course all good tours are because the guide themselves are great people. Yuriko-san was a very fun and informative guide. She’s also incredibly kind and great at involving you in conversations with locals as a translator rather than just talking by herself. I also had a lot of fun learning about her life and family and sharing my stories as well. If you’re in or near Gifu prefecture, I highly recommend Yuriko-san as a guide!

Let's enjoy early morning Kyoto and maiko experience
Kyoto is one of the most popular places to visit, but so crowded. If you want to enjoy quiet Kyoto, I recommend you visit there early morning. In this tour, you can enjoy bamboo grove, morning coffee at a Japanese style coffee shop and beautiful river and mountains scenery from a wooden bridge. After that, why don't you try 'washoku', or Japanese cuisine and maiko, or cute apprentice geisha's dancing? My special early morning tour will give you wonderful and unforgettable memories in Japan!!
