An enriching and insightful spiritual experience - We had a wonderful and insightful time with our local guide Yoshi San. Yoshi was great at explaining the general information about the Geku and Naiku, as well as very proficient with the history and myths of the Amaterasu if one needed additional cultural aspects. The pace of the half day tour was relaxing and allow enough time to take in the sights, scenery and photo moments where camera is allowed. Thanks to Yoshi San, we also got to experience eating Ise Udon in a local shop off the beaten path too! I highly recommend this tour.

Great 4 hours tour in Ise - Enjoyed the half day tour. Our tour guide Tetsuya Tanahashi is thoughtful to give advice in advance about hiring taxi, otherwise, it would have been too short for 4 hours to visits Geku, Naiku and Meoto Iwa rock. It was a busy days on Sunday, but managed to catch the important places.

Great Half Day Ise tour - We had a great half day Ise tour. Our guide, Tetsuya Tanahashi is very thoughtful in arranging the tour, even for just half day. Thanks to the advice of hiring local taxi in advance, otherwise 4 hours was just too short to visit places in the busy Sunday. He speaks good english and explained all the detail of places we visited, Geku, Naiku and Meoto Iwa.
