The tour was very educational and interesting with an extremely knowledgeable guide. Really enjoyed learning more about Japan's history and culture. The tour description noted there would be a a "stop at a sweet shop" early in the tour offering dango and beverages - this did not occur. It would have been nice to start with refreshments at the beginning of the four hours. We did have the tea tasting session at the end.
