Hidden Gardens with Ayuri
The tour of the hidden garden and bamboo forest was exceptional, offering a refreshing respite from the crowds for some of the tour. We were particularly impressed by our guide, Ayumi, whose professionalism, extensive knowledge, and proficiency in English greatly enhanced our experience.

He was super nice and welcoming to every question asked.
Great experience!
The experience was really great! Our guides, Ayuri and Linda, were extremely friendly, kind, and knowledgeable. They took great care of us throughout the entire tour and made us feel comfortable and welcome at every moment. The tour itself was wonderful, especially because it included not only the most famous spots, but also some less-known and less crowded places. I really appreciated this, as it made the experience feel more authentic and allowed us to discover a different side of Japan away from the usual tourist crowds. We received lots of interesting information, but everything was explained in a very simple, clear, and enjoyable way, which made it easy to follow and learn without ever feeling overwhelming. The lunch experience was also a lovely part of the tour, with a truly authentic Japanese style and atmosphere. Overall, it was a very enjoyable and well-organized experience, and I would definitely recommend it!
Great day out and excellent walk.
Fantastic tour through the bamboo Forrest, local temples and I learnt lots about the local history.
