Tour Reviews
The tour was ok overall, but I’m not sure if I misunderstood what the tour was supposed to be. I was expecting more eating/drinking, but some of the places we went to were really busy. I think this tour is probably better to book when it’s not peak season.
A nice balance and a good pace
I had such delicious matcha on this tour and even found a great place to get loose leaf tea. You will not be disappointed with this tour!
As a tea lover I really loved all the facts behind matcha and green tea 💚 and the temple and history with it was just perfect for me.
Fantastic way to try Japan
