Great Day at Bamboo Forrest & Monkey Park - This is a great tour! Guides gave a great explanation of Japanese culture and history on the way to the Bamboo Forrest through a temple. Also, they took an awesome photo for us that totally captured the Bamboo Forrest. We then ate at a Japanese food court before heading to the monkey park which was one of the highlights. Would recommend this tour!

A fun tour, monkeys were the highlight - This was a fun tour, the highlight was the monkey park. It was so crazy to have the monkeys just walking past you. Aaron was a knowledgeable and fun tour guide. He took us to some beautiful out-of-the-way places after the bamboo forest. He also showed us how to take some really cool perspective pictures in the bamboo forest
