An amazing time and fantastic way to experience the quiet natural beauty of a village just on the outskirts of Tokyo - I booked this trip to see a different side of Tokyo that was also less crowded by other tourists. It was a lot more than I had expected! Communication with the tour guide, Kenji, is easy and he is so kind and accommodating. Unfortunately, the day of our trip was raining so most of what I expected this trip to be (cycling and river walking) did not happen, but instead Kenji made the best of it for us! He drove us to all the different sights on our planned itinerary and we were still able to hike into the forest areas to see the beautiful waterfalls, nature, and far off traditional buildings. Without Kenji as our guide, we wouldn't be able to experience the quiet beauty found here in Hinohara village. We don't know any Japanese, but Kenji was able to help us interact with the locals and see a glimpse of the life here. In my opinion, the rain and gloom made the forests and nature feel more alive! We enjoyed the trip so much! I recommend this to anyone who wants to experience a quieter side to Tokyo's beautiful nature. Kenji was full of knowledge and always eager to help us get the most out of our trip. This experience is one of the ones I'll remember the most from my first trip to Japan. Thank you, Kenji!
