Organic farm experience in Asuka, Nara
Joined 2017
Asuka was the ancient political center of Japan about 1400 years ago. Unlike other parts of Japan, there are neither high-rise buildings nor large commercial complex. Instead, historical remains, rice paddy field, traditional village houses, mountains and streams welcome us as they used to be. You will visit an organic farm and enjoy seasonal activities. This will be happy experience not only for adults but also kids.

“Great full day in kyoto”
Had a great private tour with our new friend Michiko. We felt like we were being shown around by a personal friend. She adjusted the tour to fit our schedule and must sees along with some quiet not so visited spots. Truly a highlight of our Japan trip. I would highly recommend her for Kyoto and any areas she would do.

Thank you for the wonderful review. It was my great pleasure to have 1-day tour on your wedding anniversary! I was impressed by your insights on Japanese history, culture and our way of life. Although it was a little earlier for Sakura cherry blossoms, I was so glad to share the moment to eat Sakura-mochi at a 400-year-old Japanese shop with such heartwarming friends like you! I hope to see you again!

“Michiko is amazing ”
We cannot recommend Michiko highly enough. We recently spent a day and a half with her in Kyoto and she was so thoughtful and engaging. Michiko brought Kyoto alive for us. Her English is excellent and she is so well informed and very professional. We thoroughly enjoyed our time her looking at all the magnificent sites and gardens. Michiko is amazing.

Thanks for the thoughtful review! I am so lucky to have such wonderful guests like you two. I had felt that this tour would be something special for both of you, and I am so glad that you loved the places and experiences, including the Japanese apricot garden. I was also impressed that you liked to see not only traditional Japanese culture, but also the current life of Japanese people. I won't forget your jokes and smiles! I wish you all the best!

“Wonderful Tour of Kyoto”
Michiko T. gave my sister and I a wonderful tour of East Kyoto temples, shrines and street life. She picked us up at our hotel early in the morning and we concentrated our interest on the East side of town to avoid long transportation time between east and west sites. It was a very smart choice. We were surprised by a heavy snow fall and it was gorgeous to see the ancient capital covered in snow. Michiko is very knowledgeable about the historic sites and knows her way around town like a native. Between temples and shrines, she also took us to very beautiful shops and places to eat. We had the best cappuccino and colorful croissant at Coquelicot Blanc/Black Swan Coffee shop. Our visit to Murin-an Garden was particularly stunning, watching the snow fall from the cozy comfort of the tea house. Loved it. We highly recommend Michiko, except when we're visiting Kyoto because she's ours :)
Michiko T.
Thank you for the wonderful review. I was so happy to show you the East side of Kyoto on that special day when the snow cast its magic over the city. You were great guests, admiring the winter trees and gardens, a cup of delicious cappuccino and croissant, and all the beautiful things you encountered, all the people involved, and making everyone around you happy. I'll never forget this tour! I hope you will continue to enjoy walking and find many more “utsukushii” things in your life.
