    Really enjoyed the walking tour of Miyajima with Kaz. Loved the walks through the temples and shrines and lucked out with a low tide to see the gate up close. Also enjoyed seeing the deer. Highly recommended!

    Miyajima was fantastic. We only had a short trip but we saw a lot. Without our guide, Yuji we couldn't have made it. He explained everything about history, culture, beliefs and showed a lot of hidden details. These helped us to have a greater understanding. I recommend booking this trip to everyone.
