Kyoto 蛋奶素選擇 一日遊

Midori is a great guide with a lot of recommendations for coffee, food, shopping, etc. These recommendations also aren't limited to Kyoto either, so she is a great resource for therest of your Japan trip.

Yoshiko was a great guide. We did so much in the short time we had together. She was so nice and eager to share the history of Uji and matcha with us.

Had a private tour with Michiko from Omakase Tour. Recommend 100%. Went to three shrines, the Nishki market for lunch at a fish stall, then finished it up at Nijo Castle before heading back to Osaka. Thank you, Michiko!

Our tour today with Madori was amazing. It felt like a friend was showing us around Kyoto. As visitors to Kyoto I doubt we would have found the places Madori took us to. The food and drinks at all 3 places were delicious. Madori didn’t want us to miss out on any experiences while we are in Kyoto and gave us so many great recommendations for restaurants, cafés and local parks. Highly recommend doing the coffee&shopping tour.

We had a wonderful time, thank you!

I had a wonderful experience with Midori-san. I enjoyed a local tour with her as my guide, and she was very informative, attentive, and considerate of all my needs. Midori-san also runs her cooking classes and offers many other tours. I highly recommend trying her classes to experience authentic Japanese cuisine and learn many fascinating facts about Kyoto. Thank you so much, Midori-san

Had fun with family making our own sake cup and enjoying the countryside

Yuki was an incredible guide, kind and filled with so much insightful information about Ayabe and Japan in general. Everything about this tour was so special! The wood shop was awesome and the cups are such a unique souvenir, along with delicious food and amazing sake!

We've had such an great time! Teruyuki, our guide, was amazing. He came to pick us up at the station, showed us around Ayabe and even gave us advices on what to do and eat in our next destination. Jin, from the lumbering place, was so nice. He explained and accompanied us so well, we where so happy and proud to make our own sake cups! We ate at a very cute and traditional restaurant. The owner was such a nice and warm lady. Finally, we went to the sake brewery. It was really interesting to learn about the sake making process. Thank you so much to you all, especially Teruyuki who made us want to know more about Ayabe! See you again :)

We just had the best day - thank you Teruyuki! The sake cup making was a heap of fun and Jin was a helpful and friendly host. Lunch at Chatsubo Yoshida was delicious and the matcha was wonderful. Our visit to Wakamiya Sake Brewery in the afternoon was an excellent way to finish the day. Delicious sake and lots of interesting info about sake brewing. Teruyuki is a knowledgeable, friendly and fun guide and we will be back to Ayabe soon!

Thank you to our gracious, friendly, and informative guide Ayaka! We wandered around Uji on foot (so beautiful) and ate a green tea themed meal (delicious) then visited a temple and shrine. We had matcha ice cream (hojicha was my favorite) and then we had an informal matcha tea ceremony. We learned a lot of new information in just three hours!

Hiroe was brilliant. Thanks to her our group of grandma, mother, and daughter we got to learn a lot about Japanese culture and Matcha. It was a wonderful day walking around the really beautiful Uji area. We ate buckwheat noodles with matcha, made matcha tea and drink it, and had roasted green tea ice cream. Beautiful area and the shrine was so amazing. Hiroe was so knowledgeable about the area and she did a great job explaining in English. An absolutely wonderful day where we got to do things with Hiroe we never would have been able to understand how to do ourselves.
