We had a wonderful time on this tour. We were taken through hidden corners we never would have discovered on our own. A highlight was visiting Gotokuji, where we learned the story behind the famous lucky cat temple and had time to explore at a relaxed pace. The tour felt personal and easygoing, with plenty of local recommendations. We got to check out unique shops and cozy cafes, it was a good balance of culture and local life, and one of the most enjoyable experiences of our trip so far.
