“My tour guide Akari, was so lovely. Extremely friendly, funny and most importantly very knowledgeable. I have wanted to visit an ancient samurai village since I was a young boy and it did not disappoint. Visiting without a guide is a mistake because I learnt so much about the samurai culture, history and their bloodline, which I would never have learnt without my guide. The whole tour is wonderful and everything is expiring, beautiful and just perfect if you love Japanese old and new history and culture like myself. Prepare yourself for a lot of walking but you won't regret this trip. Trust a brotherRead more”
