Great Experience!
Our tour guide Hide was wonderful! He was so knowledgeable about the temples and shrines we visited and he was kind enough to give us coins to offer prayers at the temple. The tea ceremony was beautiful. It was a great way to spend the last day of our honeymoon to Japan
Fun and informative!
We had a fantastic time on the temple walking tour with Hedi and we loved the tea ceremony as well. Hedi is knowledgeable and engaging; he efficiently navigated us through Shimagyo ward to various temples and shrines, sharing history and context along the way. This was not our first experience at a Japanese Shinto shrine or Buddhist temple, but Hedi still had plenty to teach us, His English is impeccable and he engaged all of us in friendly conversation.
Our tea ceremony experience was truly magical as well. The host of the tea ceremony was lovely and kind: she clearly takes pride in her craft and is a gracious teacher. We all enjoyed these experiences; my 16-year old has even purchase matcha and a matcha bowl so she can prepare ut at home,
