 The travelers testify

"The tour was superb and met all our expectations. We learned a lot about tea and its culture. The visit to the tea producer was a highlight for us. These people are super nice." (On the Tea Road)

"This e-mail is to thank you for this meeting with Maxime, a real enthusiast who shared with us his flora culture and his knowledge of the Yakushima forest. Far from a sporty hike, we took the time to contemplate and better understand these breathtaking landscapes. " (Yakushima, Forest Walk)

"We really enjoyed our excursion with Gwenn. We had most of the day and headed out of Takayama into the surrounding hills to a temple and waterfalls, then into a small town. It was a good mix of countryside and culture, which is what we were looking for." (Rural Getaway around Takayama)

"Wonderful, well-documented walk in one of Japan's most beautiful parks. What's more, with the cherry blossoms in bloom, it's quite lively at this time of year." (Kanazawa Night Walk)

"The excursion to Tsuwano was very interesting. Adrien is an enthusiast and his workshop is very interesting." (Tsuwano, the Japan of yesteryear)

"We took part in Akiko's cooking class. It was an excellent experience, both on a culinary level and on a human level. She's a welcoming, caring person who showed us authentic, delicious Japanese cuisine. Our memories of our time with Akiko will be wonderful.  " (Home cooking with Akiko)
