Walking tour, Tokyo; Tea Ceremony - Our tour guide was amazing. Mickie was steeped in local culture and traditions. So well informed, assisted us in participating in the local customs, taught us so about the shrines and temples. Took a profound interest in guiding us along the different stores to shop. He selected a wonderful restaurant to try soba noodles. So considerate, so knowledgeable about Japan and its ways. We got the insiders look to Japanese traditions, religious sites, and day to day living, as well as shopping experiences. Following this, we enjoyed a lovely tea ceremony, again learned so much from our charming hostess. We strongly recommend this tour to all !
