“teamLab have ourdone themselves once again. An amazing experience that is a must do in Osaka. Recommend going early, because the park fills very quickly and 6 pm is dark enough to get the most out of the experience.”

“I am glad we booked this because it was easier to be guided in a place as big as this where you don't know where to go or what to see first.”

“It was a marvelous experience. Our guide Tamami was excellent and her English language skills perfect and clear. She also had a great understanding of the subject. We did 2 10-minute zen meditation sessions under the instruction and supervision of Namiki-san the master-monk for the temple. We also did a calligraphy exercise as he chanted, followed by sweets and tea while each of the participants asked questions of the master monk. A marvelous 90 minute experience. Highly recommended for the inexperienced as well as experienced follower of Buddhism or meditation.”

“Kenta was an excellent guide. He knows everything and tells you the history in an interesting and also humorous way. Never get bored or felt lost in details.”

“It was a excellent zen experience with japanese garden and temple. I learned about zen and Buddha and Buddhism. Also vegetarian lunch was a excellent choice”

“It was not touristy at all. One of my favorite activities in my 4 visits to Kyoto.”

“This was a wonderful tour and I highly recommend it. Our guide was extremely knowledgeable and we learned a lot about Japanese religion and history. She took us to off-the-beaten-path locations, including a temple with the most beautiful, serene garden, and a garden with amazing views of the city and mountains. We also visited a famous shrine. And of course, the bamboo forest, which is really something to see. We went early enough that it wasn't too crowded. The tour included a delicious vegetarian kaiseki lunch, and our guide explained what everything was and how to eat it. The pace of the tour was perfect for the very hot weather,…”

“Just amazing!! The guide speaks fluent English but is native Japanese! She was so lovely and explained everything quite well! Would highly recommend her! Loved the atmosphere and the set up as well. Would definitely go there again.”

“Mieko was our guide and was wonderful. She was very knowledgeable and had interesting facts about the gardens.”

“Absolutely amazing such a peaceful location and such kind and caring group of people. Every piece of the activities were carefully planned and organised nothing was rushed and I immensely enjoyed all of the activities. Highly recommend it.”

“The weather for the tour wasn’t ideal but it was made up by our amazing tour guide. She was detailed, answered every question with great detail, and super friendly! We had a great time learning about the history of the Shogun and I would do this tour again in a heartbeat!”

“The whole experience was peaceful and fascinating, a little confusing on the morning of where to meet, but that was very quickly and painlessly resolved, just my advice is go to where the guide messages you to meet on the day before. The temple is a little gem with the setting being as you would expect and the temple monk was as you would expect. The meditation was enlightening. Overall, a great experience, arigato gozaimasu 🙏”

“This was a great experience. Felt very authentic and you don’t need to know anything about Buddhism. You practice meditation, calligraphy, see how to pray at the temple and have a brief tea ceremony. Kazu was a very helpful host and spoke English. The mono, Namiki, was very friendly and answered all of our questions. Highly recommend!”

“Andrew was very informative, and we learned a lot about the history of the gardens and the imagery portrayed in the designs. The location was not crowded, so it was quiet and peaceful.”

“I had a great day biking around Kyoto with Yusuke! I wasn’t expecting it to be a private tour but that was a nice surprise because I could go at my own pace. Yusuke was a super friendly and knowledgeable guide - he made sure I was comfoRead more”
