    ★★★★★

    The Ome tour was very memorable! The tour guides were able to communicate in various languages, which made the tour very inclusive. The activities held were also very fun. Ink painting and postcard decorating were the most memorable parts of the tour. Thank you for hosting this!

  • A Beautiful, Peaceful, and Creative Experience.

    The Bamboo Lantern & Udon Delight Tour
    ★★★★★

    A Beautiful, Peaceful, and Creative Experience. We began with a hands-on lantern-making workshop set right next to a serene bamboo forest. The setting was peaceful and inspiring, and the activity was enjoyable and well-paced. Midway through, while we were learning about the bamboo and its cultural significance, we paused for a relaxing artisanal coffee break—a thoughtful and refreshing touch.

  • I enthusiastically recommend the activity!

    ★★★★★

    At first, I did not know what to expect, but ended-up having a great time. Making a lantern was easy and relaxing. There were many patterns to choose from and assistance as needed. In addition to making a lantern, we had the opportunity to learn more about Japanese culture and share a meal in a traditional setting. It was a great day and experience. I enthusiastically recommend the activity! A great idea for Christmas gifts.
