Went on a tour through the area with the wonderful host Yoshi, she was an amazing guide, so kind, attentive and very knowledgeable. It’s worth touring this area with a guide! She showed us the local food and treats, helped me to purchase a beautiful kimono and taught us the locals traditions!

A nice short tour where they teach you the significance of the temple and shrines. They taught us the history behind it and how to be respectful of local traditions.
