    We booked this prior to our trip to Japan. Since we enjoyed matcha, it made sense to visit where this was originally produced. Ayumi contacted us days before our trip to arrange a meet up and she even directed us to which train to take to meet up with her. We kept an open communication. Our trip was more than what we expected. She was informative and gave us an introduction to the Heian Period. She was lovely. I highly recommend Ayumi and this group!
