We had a wonderful time! The tour was very informative. It was raining but does not spoil the good experience. We are glad we included the lunch. It was a traditional japanese meal and we enjoyed it. Big thanks to Riku and Jewell , they are very helpful and nice.

Jewell was our guide and she did a great job. She has a really good eye for the best spots to take photos and provides a lot of information about each of the sites we visited. She even held the bus and called me when I got lost briefly while returning to the bus. Thanks for all your help!!
