    The shrines are beautiful, with going on a tour, the crowds take up most of the space and getting a clear picture is difficult. With the gorge, you don't get to go into a boat like the picture suggests. It's a lovely stroll but not what we expected. Additionally, our guide Molly was amazing. Talk about the most selfless, entertaining, and knowledgeable person around, she did an amazing job at keeping our group safe and happy. If I could have Molly as my person guide for my trip to Japan I would.

  • Splendid sites - informative guide!
