Reviews: Kyoto: Kendo and Samurai Experience with Uniform and Gear
Guest User2025-07-29
This was overall a great experience and very much worth the money; it was definitely one of the highlights of our trip. The instructor, Taka, spoke very good English and not only taught us how to use a katana, but also the etiquette that samurai followed in ages past. There was also sparring between the participants at the end which provided opportunity for some fun competition. Additionally, there was ample opportunity for great pictures in the gear with backdrops of samurai armor and such. A 6 star experience that I would recommend to anyone even remotely interested in Japanese history or culture.★

Guest User2025-09-27
Lake Biwa is beautiful. It was very pleasant to take the cable car up and have lunch while overlooking the lake. It would have been better if we had an extra hour. The temple at the end was a bit useless and could have been omitted.★

Reviews: Kyoto Arashiyama, Nara Deer Park & Fushimi Inari Day Tour
Guest User2025-05-08
Forgot to evaluate! The tour guide Dai guide Frederick is very good, Chinese, Japanese, English and three languages are proficient, all the way to lively atmosphere and explain historical stories. All tourists are very warm and friendly. At the end of the trip, he asked him what was delicious and fun and he was very enthusiastic to tell us. I recommend everyone to set the itinerary if you want the Nara Kyoto Busan line!
