People over profit. This is the sentiment that underpins this Kansai-based travel experience group and its team of charming hosts. Aiming to highlight rural charm in the lesser-known parts nearby Kyoto, these tours will take you on a journey otherwise untouched by tourists and large travel corporations. By joining one of their tours, you’ll engage with the local community and feel the warmth of the townspeople.
