Great experience

My guide Scott had extensive knowledge of the Ainu culture and the museum. This trip is a quick and economical way to get exposed to the culture and experience an onsen. This tour uses public transportation and involves quite a bit of walking, so I don't recommend it for anyone who's walking ability is limited. Scott went beyond the call of duty and helped me do some shopping after the tour. Many thanks, Scott.
