We enjoyed a lovely morning with Miki san. This is not just a food tour, Miki San explains local history, customs and culture as well as local food with depth and enthusiasm. The miso and soy factory was a special visit, as we had no idea about the different soy sauces, or soy sauce ice cream which is amazing! The sake tasking, mochi sweets and cherry bark visits were full of information and interesting. The final highlight was a visit to the Ishiguro family Samurai residence where Mr Ishigur, a direct descendent of the Samurai, showed us around the house, we were very honoured. The pace of the tour is gently, the people we met a delight and I thoroughly recommend this tour.

Mac was amazing. He gave us the option to rent e-bikes so we could see more and we took his advice. We saw 2 different samurai houses, ate the most amazing mochi ever, went to a soy house and rode our bikes by the river. It was a wonderful day! I couldn't recommend it more!!
