Akari Offers Treasure of Experience in Top Rated Tour
Wow where to begin! We planned this tour to get a better understanding of geishas. We however received so much more than what we dreamed of. We learned so much more than what we thought. Our guide (born in Kyoto) gave us not just the history if the area but an understanding of the people, past and present. As she spoke we could feel the love she had for the area and citizens. Dinner was fabulous and accommodating to special diets. I recommend this tour, you will not be disappointed.

This was actually my second time joining a tour operated by Ohkini Tours, and this time I participated with my friends. Our guide was absolutely perfect for a private group tour, guiding us with such warmth and care. All of my friends truly enjoyed her knowledge, kindness, and the wonderful atmosphere she created. We will definitely come back again and highly recommend Ohkini Tours to others!
