Perfect design perspective tour
It was fascinating taking a tour with an architect and looking at sites from a design perspective. Nader was extremely knowledgeable and nice. When he heard we liked ceramics he even adjusted our day to see a ceramics museum. We definitely recommend a tour with Nader if you have any interest in design.
Enjoyable and Informative
This was a long tour. However, the host’s laid back approach made it very enjoyable. He was very flexible and accommodating of what attendees may feel like doing in the midst of all the sightseeing - break for lunch, break for coffee or tea - and each option offered was in some wonderful locale. At one point, I expressed an interest in Kyoto sweets and we took an impromptu detour to a place selling delicious matcha/white choco cookies!
As for the tour sites themselves, they were great! Nader had lots of interesting architectural and historical information to impart at each location. Did you know the thicker the frame slats on washi paper doors, the more precious the interior items? You appreciate sightseeing much, much more, the more you learn.
I loved that the tour started by jumping from rock to rock crossing the Kama River!
Exactly what we wanted!
The tour guide, Nader, totally customized our tour to fit our interests and physical abilities. We were able to really soak in the essence of Japan rather than rush to a multitude of locations. This was definitely our preference! It was a wonderful day with a great guide!

Thank you so much, Jeri! I’m really happy to hear you enjoyed the day and that the slower, more immersive pace matched your style. It was a pleasure guiding you and sharing Japan’s essence together.
