5.00We had an amazing day with Hiro. He took so many great photos and videos of our day visiting the hilltop castles and learning traditional sword fighting. The katana training was a such a fun and unique way to explore Japanese culture and everyone one there made us feel so welcome and part of the class. I’m so happy I found this tour. It created such a great memory for my family! Thank you, Hiro!
