Unique private tea farm tour with great guide - We had a great day in the tea fields. Our guide Daiki was fluent in English and very knowledgeable and accommodating. We asked for a couple of changes because we had already been to Byodo-in temple. The tea plantation area was amazing even though it was a little drizzly. Suddenly a great was to visit the tea growing region with an expert guide

Outstanding - What a fantastic tour and well worth the money. Our Guide Daiki was outstanding and very knowledgeable. The tour was not rushed and was just perfectly timed. The scenery was just as the pictures show. We would highly recommend this tour and a big thank you to Daiki

Amazing temples and the tea shop was fantastic - The temples were amazing, the tea field was fantastic, I was able to buy a diverse amount of Tea, if you are traveling solo is 100% worth it, the convertible on the Japan roads feel amazing. I enjoyed the views heading to Uji and seeing the tall Japanese red cedars. I enjoyed the temples but the highlight to me was the tea fields and the beautiful views in the road.

A Custom Adventure With A Knowledgeable Local - We had a great time on our 8-9 hour adventure with Daiki. He took us to many great temples and showed us around the Kyoto/Nara/Osaka region. Was definitely an “adventure” and we covered a lot of miles. It was great chatting with him and learning more about Japanese cultures and customs from a local who seems very dedicated to constantly educating himself and learning more about all the many things Japan has to offer. Definitely recommend if you want a customized adventure where you sit back and relax and let him take you where the wind blows. Super fun and memorable :)

Wonderful, Off the Beaten Path Tour! - Daiki gave us a wonderful, off the beaten path tour. My mom and I have both been to Japan many times, and still managed to see things neither of us have ever seen. My favorite was the temple with the heart shaped window-- it was so empty! No tourists around. The green tea fields were beautiful too. This truly is a one-of-a-kind, unique tour. Thanks, Daiki! Hope to see you again.

Great way to see the Japanese countryside and try some excellent tea! - Daiki was a great guide! He picked us up on time in a vehicle that was comfortable for 3 American sized men (and one female). We never would've experienced most of the things we saw without this tour as most of it required a car to get to. He even included a bonus shrine or two. Highly recommend. My favorite tour of the trip.

Countyside roadtrip to Uji Green Tea fields - Despite the rain, we enjoyed our countryside trip to see the green tea fields and try the authentic Uji roasted tea and some matcha sweets. We had a side trip to visit the Byodoin museum that showcase Buddist temple treasures. We also stopped to see Shojuin temple and a place of prayer and meditation with Inome (heart-shaped) window and painted flower ceiling and a small, exquisite zen garden. Last, we had a wonderful shabu shabu wagyu dinner at Kinnobuta Matsuiyamateten. Thank you very much to our wonderful guide, Daiki for a memorable countryside experience.

Nice tour even in the rain. - Although it was raining, we had a wonderful and comfortable tour. Daiki did a great job and showed us some beautiful shrines and a stunning view point of the tea fields. He took into account that my mother is not so good at walking and we could do the tour in our own speed, which was nice. I highly recommend!
