What travelers are saying
This was an amazing tour made even more perfect by our guide Miko. Because of her and her knowledge and experience, we were able to see multiple beautiful sites all in one day! Miko allowed us to set the pace and checked to make sure we were comfortable and had everything that we needed throughout the day. There is no way we could have done this all in one day by ourselves. Don't miss this tour and ask for Miko - she was the best guide we had while we were in Japan.
This tour was excellent and Yasu was a great guide. We enjoyed the onsen addition at the end of the tour
