Take this tour! - This tour is perfect for anyone who is interested in bonsai and wants to see the place bonsai basically got started as a craft and art in Japan. Kahori met us at our hotel and helped us navigate public transportation to Omiya Village. She is very knowledgeable and has a good sense of humor. We joked a lot! She went out of her way to call a bonsai garden she was not familiar with to see if it was open to the public. She also gave us recommendations for places to eat and visit during our stay in Tokyo. Overall, a wonderful experience. Highly recommend!

Family trip to Omiya Bonsai Village - My husband, son, and his family enjoyed this tour of the bonsai village today. Kahori was a friendly and helpful tour guide and showed us many interesting species of bonsai at the museum and 4 other private gardens. She also helped us understand elements of Japanese architecture and different styles of bonsai. She was understanding when our trip was delayed and accommodated us by meeting at a later time. My husband is a bonsai enthusiast and was particularly impressed, and the tour inspired our grandson to take a further interest in bonsai too. I highly recommend it. Also, the Omiya area is lovely, especially in autumn!

Bonsai Bonanza - Great tour of the Bonsai Museum and numerous Bonsai Nurseries in this unique and historic area. Kahori was a very knowledgeable and patient guide. She even taught us how to make Oragami sculptures on the train. Great tour for plant lovers, gardeners and nature lovers.

Fantastic tour of Bonsai Museum and nurseries with knowledgeable and friendly guide Miyuko - Fantastic tour from start to finish with wonderful Miyuki. She guided us from our hotel to the village on the excellent rail line and then guided us around the museum and several nurseries. We learned so much more than we would have on our own about the history of the village and how bonsai are created and nurtured. She pointed out rare and unusual specimens in the private nurseries. Her English is excellent and she was so pleasant and personable. She went above and beyond. So much fun. The tour was a highlight of our trip.
