It was a nice Tour thru some hotspots of Osaka. Toshi is a very friendly guy. He gives me every Information i ask for. Domo arigato!! :-)

Jörg L.

Hi Jorg, Osaka castle had maybe too many visitors that you did not feel like going up there. But seemingly you enjoyed visiting the 1860s museum. I'm glad that you enjoyed that place with Kimono on you. I felt like I was with one of close friends of mine. Very nice review. Thank you for that. I really appreciate it. Hope you will continuously have a fun time while you are in Japan. Take Care, Toshi M.

I from Arashiyama to Sagano, one of the finest spots in Kyoto. In particular the view form Togetsukyo Bridge crossing over Katsura River is very impressive. Arashiyama is populary known for cherry blossoms in spring and beautifully changing colors of autumn leaves in autumn. You can enjoy walking through bamboo forests.
