Our guide, Tom, went above and beyond to create a special experience for us. We appreciated his knowledge of history and culture, as well as his meaningful connections to the local people. He is a true ambassador for Japan! We will cherish the memories and photos (taken by Tom, who is also a fantastic photographer)!
Tom was a great guide! Very knowledgeable on the temples and shrines. We were able to grind matcha and go to museums. We also went to a few stores that were not touristy and really enhanced the experience. Tom is super fun and spontaneous. I would recommend this tour to everyone!

We had an amazing time with Tom learning about Uji’s history, tea, and culture! We went to many locations, sampling different types of teas to other assorted snacks and walking around Byodo-in Temple listening to/seeing its history. We had a very special matcha experience (ichi-go ichi-e 💜) visiting a family-owned tea shop, from viewing the family’s museum to grinding matcha to being guided in a tea ceremony. Would definitely recommend everyone try this personalized tour!

I had an absolutely wonderful half-day private tour in Uji, Kyoto. Tom, my guide is a true Kyoto local, having grown up in the area, and his deep connection to the region really came though in every part of the experience. His knowledge of Kyoto's history was incredible-he was like a walking historian, and I learned so much throughout the tour. What made this tour especially special was how personalized it was. He took the time to understand my interests and thoughtfully tailored the itinerary to match. We explored some of the best and oldest tea shops, learned about the rich history of matcha, and even experienced tea grinding and a traditional tea ceremony. we also visited beautiful temples and the iconic bridge in Uji, which made the day feel both cultural and immersive. On top of that, he was very friendly, professional, and easy to talk to. I felt completely comfortable the entire time, which made the experience even more enjoyable. this Uji tour was truly memorable, and I highly recommend it to anyone planning a visit to the Kyoto area. It was absolutely worth the time and money!

We had a great time exploring Uji’s main attractions with Hinata. This tour allowed us enough time to visit the sites at a slow pace. Hinata was very helpful and attentive. The tea tasting ceremony was brilliant and just right to fit into this 4 hour itinerary. Would highly recommend this tour with Hinata.
