Bonsai Bonanza

Leslie_S, Oct 2025

Great tour of the Bonsai Museum and numerous Bonsai Nurseries in this unique and historic area. Kahori was a very knowledgeable and patient guide. She even taught us how to make Oragami sculptures on the train. Great tour for plant lovers, gardeners and nature lovers.

Response from Host, Oct 2025

Thank you so much for your wonderful comment. I truly appreciate it. I was deeply impressed by your extensive knowledge of plants, and I thoroughly enjoyed spending time with both of you. Wishing you all the best in the days ahead. Warm regards, Kahori

Bonsai afternoon

RHODERICK_S, Jul 2024

We had a wonderful time with Miyuki who showed us around the bonsai village. She was very accommodating and knowledgeable about bonsai history and bonsai in general. Highly recommended !

Response from Host, Jul 2024

Thank you so much for your kind words. I am really glad to hear that you enjoyed the bonsai tour. You were so interested in bonsai that I also enjoyed viewing bonsai trees and talking about them with you. I hope that you will come back and visit the village again in another season. The thousand-year-old ezo spruce in the museum will welcome you again! Thank you, Miyuki
