5.00Caleb was our guide, and we absolutely loved his energy and enthusiasm as he guided us through the Fushimi Inari Taisha. Visiting this shrine at night was a magical moment. Caleb shared many insightful stories, giving us information we could never get trying to tour on our own. We liked that he gave us just the right amount of information to make it interesting without overwhelming us. We also enjoyed hearing about his musical journey in Japan, wishing we could hear him play! We highly recommend this nighttime tour with Caleb!
