“Akihiro guides with calm and care. No rush. Just the forest, the lake and time to slow down.”
“This tour may well have been the highlight of our entire trip — the entire experience was nothing short of perfection.”
“The combination of towering cedar and cypress trees, the waterfalls and zen gardens really made the trip magical. Finally the onsen, sitting in nature in the thermal pools, was heaven. Very highly recommend it!”
“The walk to the temple through the forest was breathtaking. The temple was serene and not overcrowded with tourists. Getting to relax in the onsen was rejuvenating and incredibly relaxing. A unique and peaceful perspective on Tokyo’s surroundings.”
“We had a wonderful day in enchanting places. The temple complex exudes a unique magic, far away from the crowds of tourists. An absolute recommendation for all those looking for mindfulness on their trip to Japan.”
