Higashi Chaya District

Yasushi-san's English is excellent; she can explain the history and culture of Japan and the Gassho-zukuri villages in a simple way. In the afternoon, we made Daruma dolls and gold leaf postcards, and observed the gold leaf making process. The entire activity was well-organized. Since this is an English-speaking group, and the other members are from Europe and America, it's a good option for those who want to practice their English.

The itinerary was packed with activities, and the tour guide's explanations were clear and attentive; he even proactively helped group members take photos. Although there was still a lot of walking to do, the scenery along the way was truly beautiful! The hotel was very comfortable; even though I was alone, I was able to stay in a double room, which felt very spacious! There was a supermarket and convenience store next to the hotel, which was super convenient!
