Fantastic!
A must do experience in Kyoto. We were lucky enough to have three wonderful guides. Teri (our guide) had two trainees - Jihyo and Hasan. They were all so informative and friendly. Highly recommended.

Kyoto Bamboo Forest and Monkey park
Awesome experience!! The baby monkeys were super cute! The Bamboo forest was unreal. Even with all the people walking around you could feel a surreal sense of tranquility. The guides were very helpful (Terry, Jihyo,and Hasan) and had a great sense of humor. They were very informative.

First time kimono experience
The staff was very kind and helpful throughout the entire experience. This is my first time wearing kimono and they made me feel beautiful! They were very gentle and very patiently styled my curly hair, I would highly recommend booking a kimono rental here!

Time well spent in Hiroshima
We had a great tour . Pancho is an excellent communicator who explains the history throughout the tour in a poignant and relatable manner. We saw everything relevant to that fateful day and the incredible recovery afterwards. We wouldn’t hesitate in recommending Pancho as a Hiroshima tour guide.

Mount Fuji Tour
Hassan is an exceptional tour guide. He showed up on time in a luxury vehicle. He accommodated our every wish he kept us on schedule and took us to the most fascinating sites and supported us throughout the day. We had the most enjoyable time and we highly highly recommend Hasan.

Kyoto Samurai ExperienceM3818AEpaulm, Sep 2026
A great experience that won’t take up your whole day.
Very interesting, you don’t just get hands on experience with a sword, you get some history on the very house the event takes place in. You get information on the components and make up of a sword, the role of zen as well as being able to hold some antique weapons. Afterwards we got taken through some sword handling techniques before doing some cutting with the sword. The staff there take photos with their own camera which they make available for you to download, so if you are there solo, you can still get some great mementos.

Must-do for Samurai enthusiasts
If you're interested in Samurai culture and swordsmanship, this is a must. You get a bit of everything - a history lesson, shamisen music, zen meditation - and if course, the highlight is the Iaido lesson with practice swords (just like the real thing, just not quite as sharp!). The staff are really nice and helpful, and the instructor is brilliant. The highlight for me was handling a 650-year-old sword (very carefully!).
Worth every penny.

Okinawa Iriomote Mangrove SUP or Canoe Tour正幸金, Sep 2026
Iriomote Island is the best!!
Following the Ishigaki Island tour on the first day, I participated in the Iriomote Island tour on the third day. The place where the mangroves ran was mystical. The return trip was difficult because of the current, but it became a good memory. Thank you very much♪

Do NOT miss this experience
Incredible from start to finish. Very organized. They know their stuff. Ample time to get your pictures with the kimono and some cool props. Good explanation of the meaning of the tea ceremony. Good english speakers for proper understanding. Would definitely recommend

Trip with my mother
I was bad at canoeing at first and caused trouble, but
I got the hang of it and finally did it!
I want to recommend it to my friends too!
