Great tour with Ayu who was very helpful and flexible, allowing us to change the plan as we had already visited the castle the previous day. Ayu was very knowledgeable about the area and all about Japanese culture.
Cycling was probably easier than walking in the heat, especially as the area is so flat.

Top notch tour - even better guide
The gardens were beautiful, enjoyed Japanese sweets, the tea ceremony was beautiful, and again, all made so much richer with the detailed information and historical context from the guide.
10/10. Couldn’t recommend this tour enough. Thank you.
