Koyasama tour with Yoshie - Yoshie Hara was an incredible tour guide, she was so knowledgeable, planned the tour perfectly, and spoke English very well. Our best experience so far in Japan. Koyasama was beautiful as well and Yoshie knew so many interesting facts about it. Would definitely recommend, and ask for Yoshie!

Enjoyed it - We enjoyed our tour of Mount Koya with Hiro! It was a different experience and more of a cultural learning for us. The temples were beautiful. We were not sure what to expect, but we were pleasantly surprised by the tour!
