No crowds. No tourist buses.
Only quiet streets, flowing rivers, the sea breeze, and everyday life unfolding naturally.

Places locals pass every day, but places filled with meaning once you know how to see them.

• Rituals in Shrine

5.00This tour is special because you get a chance to see something unique and different from other tours. We went to an old fashioned candy shop, and I'd never seen a lot of those candies before- it was fun to choose some and try them. I really enjoyed going to the old samurai house; the house itself is beautiful and I learned a lot about Japanese design and the history of the area. It was so cool to see drawings of the house from 200 years ago and imagine what life was like then. This tour experience was calm, uncrowded, interesting, and authentic. I really recommend it to people who want to learn more about Japanese culture.
