“It was one of the Best cultural tour experiences we’ve ever had.. Both Kenta and Ukyo were very knowledgeable and shared every detail about history and gave us recommendations on restaurants as well. Highly recommended!!”
Train with a Japanese ninja master in Kyoto, with small-group practice, ninja clothes, and hands-on weapons and techniques for about 2 hours.
“My 10yo son and myself (mom) had so much fun!! We both were dressed in traditional ninja clothes. We were able to learn about meditation practices & most common weapons ninja used were professionally demonstrated. We were also allowed to try each of the weapon ourselves on targets!! They also took pictures for us and emailed it same day.”
Kyoto maiko makeover in an AC studio with authentic kimono, makeup, wig styling, and professional photos. 2 hours, 5 digital images.
“The metamorphosis was a great experience itself: make up, kimono choice and dressing up in full Maiko gear. All in friendly atmosphere. And then the photoshoot with kind and professional photographer. I received ready photos earlier than expected and the result was phenomenal. What's important is that the photo session takes place in a professional studio (AC) and not anywhere outside, which is a bonus given temperature/humidity outside (2nd half of April) and a full make-up/heavy kimono on. I would deffinitely repeat the experience and I highly recommend.Read more”

“Super kind woman who spoke great English and had amazingly strong hands! Clear instructions, easy to find, and a lovely clean little spot. I would recommend this- heck, we considered doing it two days in a row haha.”
A 2-hour English guided tour of Kyoto’s Nijo Castle with palace highlights, UNESCO architecture, garden time, and photo stops.
“Very interesting and fun tour with my guide Seana. Plenty of time to focus more in detail to some of the spots within the castle or Ninomaru palace. It was fun to find together with Seana the "floating peacock" panel in Ohiroma Ni-no-ma (second room) within Ninomaru palace that is not visible from the beaten track. As she speaks Japanese we could ask the staff to assist us in our "discovery"! Seana shared in depth stories too about the castle giving it a personal touch from the guide's point of view. It was interesting and I enjoyed the tour very much, highly recommend! Only one remark, GtG should include an…”
