I had such a great time on this walking tour with Aron. He knows a lot about Japanese history and culture, and he explained everything in a fun, easy to understand way, which made the whole tour even more enjoyable. We got to see so many amazing spots, including the bamboo forest, shrines, temples, and some really pretty views. He pointed out the best places for photos and even took some great pictures of each of us along the way. Honestly, this tour was way better than trying to figure everything out on my own. I learned a ton and had such a enjoyable day! Highly recommend!
