Arashiyama rickshaw ride through the Bamboo Forest with Tai Tai is a must.

Published on May, 2025

An amazing experience with an amazing driver, Tai Tai, through the Bamboo Forest, the local streets, tea at a 400-year-old Teahouse. It was the highlight of our trip to Japan. Tai Tai's fitness, knowledge of history, the local area, and his communication and care and attention to us for 2 hours + was fantastic. We would do it again.

Great experience, very competitive guides!

Published on Apr, 2024

Our guide, Yoppy, was the best guide we could imagine! He was very friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable. Yoppy explained everything very clearly and always smiling.
