Uncover Kyoto you never knew about; enjoy the nature of Kameoka and its friendly locals on this sustainability-themed tour.

This tour offers you a chance to escape the busy and overcrowded Kyoto and venture into the countryside, where you can meet the warm and friendly locals who keep their traditional crafts alive even today.
