Kyoto

Redeem Universal Studios tickets with a Nintendo guaranteed admission pass, plus it's very convenient to take the Haruka bus, saving you a considerable amount of money.

The boatman is quite interesting; you can experience the fun of enjoying the autumn leaves from a boat.

The light and shadow animations are beautiful, but the other facilities inside the city are hard to see clearly; it's better to visit during the day.

My first kimono experience! I asked the shop a lot of questions on Instagram beforehand, and there were staff members who spoke Chinese! I'm so grateful to them for patiently answering all my questions. I chose the furisode I'd been wanting, and I was worried I wouldn't be able to find the style I saw on the shop's Instagram, but luckily I found it on the day!! The kimono-wearing instructor was very kind and had great strength, making sure the kimono wouldn't come undone. The stylist was also fantastic! I never thought I could look so good 😍 If you're unsure which level of kimono you're looking for, don't worry, you can choose a basic one first. The staff will explain the price range, and if you like a different level, you can just pay the difference. There were no hidden costs! The only minor inconvenience was the shoes. If you're going to visit Kiyomizu-dera Temple, I recommend wearing your own shoes. The kimono shoes provided by the shop were quite painful towards the end 😂 Other than that, there's nothing to complain about~ I'd definitely go again if I have the chance ❤

The matcha milling class was awesome. Our teacher is the 17th generation of the tea family and his dad, who is the 16th generation of the samurai showed us his little museum on the second floor. The genmaicha is so much more flavorful than what we can buy in Canada. After taking this class, I’ll be drinking more uschua than matcha latte as their tea was so good.

Communication was smooth, the driver was very nice, drove very smoothly, and the car was very clean.

Driver was punctual in picking us up. She also helped us load and unload all of our luggages to the airport. We had so many luggage that's why opted to arrange a charter for convenience. On the way to the airport, we stopped by at Yuni garden and we were able to tour one last time before heading back. Very good travel option to sightsee while heading to the airport.
