Nicest tour guide we ever had

5.00It was SO nice! So actually we only wanted to visit the shrein without a tour but then a woman (Akiko) asked if we wanted to join the tour for 4000¥ per person. It was totally worth it! It was 60 minutes long and not boring at all. She was so nice like genuinely flowers bloom when she walks out the house. The Atmosphere was amazing too. There were MANY visitors but still an amazing experience. Oh and the show was amazing too! We were allowed to watch the performance right in front of the stage. I think this is tour for everyone. Loved it
