Super friendly and very informative and educational. I really enjoyed the tour and learned lots of Japanese history as well as enjoyed food and snacks along the way. Highly recommend.
Mark was wonderful. He gave us a great history lesson and a lot of insights into modern Japanese culture. Highly recommend.
Ramesh was an excellent guide and translator. Kept us on track despite us getting to him late. Answered our questions on local spots to visit, immigration, shrine symbolism, etc. Accommodated my grandmother’s slow pace and ability. Well paced. Wowed. Loved making a connection.
A wonderful experience to learn about the shrine and its history.
A very interesting and friendly guide; we all loved the moment.
