“Excellent trip and information. Note to travelers, if you get off mid route (course) take a picture of the stop timetable and pinpoint it on your maps. Found way back to stop at Tokyo Tower, but missed bus by 10 mins. Next one over 1 1/2 hours. 🤦♂️ A real must is the green course at night. The trip over the expressway is STUNNING!!”

Travel from Osaka or Kyoto to Hiroshima and Miyajima by bullet train, bus, and ferry, with peace sites, Itsukushima Shrine, and okonomiyaki lunch.
“We really enjoyed our tour and were very lucky that it was a glorious hot sunny day. It was a long day (from Kyoto) but very well organised and well timed from the train to the coach to the ferry and back again. Our guide, ‘Joe’, was very enthusiastic and passionate about his job and about providing information, which we really appreciated. He was very knowledgeable about all the places he took us to. The museum at Hiroshima was very sad and quite emotional and in my opinion it was good that we went to Miyajima island afterwards rather than before (I saw some tours where Miyajima was first and…”

Grind tencha into matcha, whisk your own tea, and explore Uji’s interactive Chazuna museum in this hands-on one-hour Kyoto experience.
“The matcha grinding experience was great, it was fun to include a hands-on experience in our trip. The ladies were extremely helpful and so fun! After the matcha grinding display the museum was short but full of informative information and videos. It was fun to see the history of Uji tea. Uji is a very cute city, I really recommend exploring if you are staying in Kyoto. It is known for great food and friendly people.”
