We had such a great day. Daiki has a wealth of knowledge about Japanese history and culture and has such enthusiasm for sharing it. He also has such patience for all of my picture taking. Daiki even dropped us off at a nearby restaurant so we could get straight to dinner at the end of the day. The scenery is the region is truly incredible-tea fields, rice paddies, bamboo and cedar forests line the roads. Very interesting temples; Byodo-in was particularly special. Had a tea flight and matcha affogato at Wazuka-cha cafe which was very enjoyable.
Fantastic and very uniqie experience.

The tour was amazing! Daiki is knowledgeable, fun, and full of happy energy. He taught us a lot about tea, Japanese culture, and history. During the ride, we saw picturistic Japan, which better represents the country than what metropolitan cities usually show tourists. We bought pure grade teas and Matcha from local farmers. The pictures we took were fantastic!
Highly Recommend
