Great tour - We enjoyed the tour with Erik very much and learnt a lot about Japanese culture, history, food and language. Erik was a knowledgeable and enthusiastic guide. He also showed us the best spots to take photos. We warmly recommend the tour to any first-time visitors to Japan who wish for an introduction to Japanese Buddhist temples and Shinto Shrines.

Worth it - Erik was an excellent guide. He seemed knowledgeable about the temples and answered all the questions I had. I don't normally go for these types or tours but I was happy I did this one. It was nice to get a private tour by accident on a Saturday morning, since everywhere we went the crowd was enlarging behind us. Thank you again Erik for the great experience and introduction to the area for further exploration.

A must-see! - Our tour of the temple with Eric was absolutely fantastic! I highly recommend having a guide so that you understand the significance of what you are seeing. Eric led us through the history and rituals and even gave an overview of what the shops had to offer.

Interesting and thorough! - A good way to learn about the history of the shrine in a small group and local guide. She was very knowledgeable and friendly. It was extremely hot at this time of year so would recommend plenty of shade and drinks! Guide was very accommodating and caring, highlight was the future scroll!!
