Nobu was great !!! We told her what we expected to see , even a sake tasting and she find the way to that awesome place. Lunch was delicious. She explain a lot of traditions and also how to pray. 10/10
This tour was amazing. Peko was super kind, knowledgeable and funny. The information provided was interesting. The lunch was delicious (not the usual touristy stuff) and all the places visited were beautiful. I highly recommended it!
