Wondeful one-dayTakayama tour from Nagoya
Takayama is located in the north of Gifu, central Japan. It takes about 2 and half hour from Nagoya by highway-bus. While bus riding, you can enjoy beautiful mountainous scenery, especially in winter, the snow-covered landscape from the bus window is wonderful!! Takayama is an old castle town, I am sure you will have a wonderful time while walking through the nostalgic town street!! Takayama also has a lot of high quality craftsmanship, you can experience such a skillful art by yourself!!

“I had a wonderful afternoon with Yuriko!”
Yuriko took me shopping in Kyoto - I love vintage and contemporary textiles and fabrics, and she devised a our which took in a modern Kimono shop with amazing Japanese fabrics and kimonos, and the lovely textile museum shop which has some real treasures. Finally to a vintage boutique which was so beautiful and such good value. Thank you Yuriko - you are a perfect guide!

(41 reviews)Thank you for your excellent review and lovely comment! Afternoon Kyoto kimono Tour with you and your gentle husband made me a precious memory, because I'm a kimono lover and strolling around kimono shops is very fun for me. Please enjoy kimono and Japanese fabric at home. Thank you again for such a wonderful afternoon in Kyoto!
“Kyoto tour”
Yuriko is very kind and sweet, she took us to Kyoto and we rented kimonos and we also had the opportunity to see lots of Cherry blossom. She also gave us history and took us to places we could of missed. It was a beautiful day.
