A recommended tour that lets you experience the tranquil history of Kyoto!

Published on Nov, 2024

A navigator who knows the local area well will accompany you on the tour, so you can learn more about Japan's matcha culture and the historical culture of Uji that has continued for over 1,000 years. The matcha sweets we enjoyed after experiencing the story of matcha were amazing!

Best cycling experience

Published on Nov, 2024

The Uji cycling tour was even more enjoyable than I expected! My guide, Sakae-san, was incredibly kind, making it easy to relax and enjoy the experience from start to finish. The route was well-planned, allowing me to fully immerse myselves in the beautiful nature of Uji while cycling. I especially appreciated the detailed explanations about the history of matcha, which were fascinating and added so much to the experience. This tour was the perfect way to fully appreciate the charm of Uji!
